Summary

Paul Thurrott celebrates a victory in Microsoft's financial transparency after the company announced new reporting segments, though he remains skeptical about the depth of the changes. The hosts discuss a record-breaking Patch Tuesday that fixed 974 security vulnerabilities and introduced new Windows features like a resizable Start menu and improved search. They also critique Microsoft's new "developer-optimized" Windows configuration for being too rigid, and Paul shares hardware highlights from IFA Berlin.
