We were supposed to be kicking this show off with all the details around the launch of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update along with the news from the Microsoft hardware/software event held in New York City this past week. We will still talk about those events however, it will be tempered with the fact that this sixth feature update’s roll out has been halted by Microsoft. We will discuss the reasons behind that abrupt change and other aspects of the roll out. Still, despite that breaking news from late last week about this update, the announcements made at the New York City event were significant. What we heard and saw about new hardware and software from Microsoft were important elements of the companies strategy moving forward and answers a few questions about the future.

Last week was crazy busy in Orlando, Florida as Microsoft hosted 30,000 IT Professionals, managers, and executives for their massive annual tech conference – Microsoft Ignite. The sheer amount of news was enough for the companies marketing arm to create a Book of News to summarize everything that was announced during the week. Of course, we will talk about some of those key items and we catch up on the latest from the Windows Insider Program as the October 2018 update release approaches. As always enjoy the show and thanks again for listening!
