Welcome to Episode 159 of the Observed Tech PODCAST and it has been far too long! After a long six week hiatus we are back with a lot of Windows 10 related news and info including a release window, hardware requirements for the desktop and mobile versions and plenty of hands on time with the latest technical preview build. Microsoft Band continues to march forward and now has even wider availability and is heading towards the UK next month plus we also confirm that Internet Explorer’s pronounced death was a bit premature. On the Xbox One front I share about my own experience of adding external storage to my console; your music collection stored in OneDrive can now be streamed to all of your Windows devices and over the web and the dilemma of using parental controls or letting your kid rack up $4,500 in DLC charges. Of course there are plenty of other news items that get discussed in this catch-up episode so come on in and take part in the discussion. Until next time enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Welcome to Episode 157 of the Observed Tech PODCAST. Although I am not labeling this one a special edition it is chock full of Windows 10 info, tips and tweaks for the current technical preview release.
Coming along for the ride is some other news items including Windows 10 on phones, Microsoft Band, Windows RT, Outlook app on iOS and Android and the status of WindowsObserver and the Observed Tech PODCAST. I also share with you my experience of running build 9926 of the Windows 10 Technical Preview as my main desktop OS this past week and how the transition has been with the loss of key features like the Charms Bar and full screen Modern Internet Explorer. Until next time enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Special Edition – Observed Tech PODCAST Episode 156 #OTP

Posted by | Jan 22, 2015 | , |

Welcome to a special episode of the Observed Tech PODCAST. Episode 156 is a review and my commentary about all the news Microsoft shared during their Windows 10 event yesterday in Redmond. It was great to see the progress they have made over the last several weeks with bringing the Windows 10 OS into a more cohesive look and feel and of course, they caught us off guard with the Surface Hub and HoloLens announcements. I was however, disappointed that we did not see a new build of the technical preview released to the Windows Insiders. Depending how you interpret the timing it is either due in the next week or next week. As I mention in the PODCAST – I think it will be before the end of this week. Looks like we will have to wait and see and maybe cross our fingers as well for a quick release of the next build. Until next time enjoy the show and thanks for listening.
