WW 1001: Corporate Surveillance With Watercolors - Out-of-Band Updates & the New Normal for Windows
Summary
Paul and Richard discuss Microsoft’s massive Patch Tuesday, which included nearly 1,000 patches and a subsequent out-of-band fix, likely driven by AI-assisted vulnerability discovery. They debate the risks of rapid patching for enterprises and the need for better separation between security and feature updates. The hosts also cover new Windows Insider builds, including changes to the Copilot key and File Explorer indexing. Finally, they touch on the release of Adobe Elements 2027 with a three-year license and the rise of personal AI agents like Meta Muse.
