On this episode of First Ring Daily, Brad tries to do a sensible thing, Paul tries to talk him out of it, and a few other late December ideas.

On this episode of the Sams Report, Microsoft ruins the Copilot key, Xbox has changed, and it’s a podcast before Christmas.

What does Windows want for Christmas? Richard chats with Paul Thurrott about the crazy year that Windows has had and what 2025 holds. Paul starts with the Ignite keynote that focused on Windows being an open platform – which sounds funny on the surface, but has some logic to it! Security is a key part of that story, which brings up the issues around Crowdstrike and the Secure Future Initiative. And then there’s Windows 10 going out of support in 2025 – what choices do you have going forward? Two grumpy old men ring out the year – have a great holiday season!

On this edition of the Sams Report, it’s the end of the year which means it’s time for “what I used, 2024”.

On this episode of First Ring Daily, we start 2025 with a usual podcast, Brad has a solution for a desk, and CES is here.
