This isn't your usual Windows Weekly. Pour a glass and settle in as Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell ditch the headlines for whisky-soaked tech stories, behind-the-scenes Microsoft confessions, and the unexpected joys (and disasters) ... more
We were inundated with new Windows features in 2025, but which ones actually moved the needle? Fortnite isn't just back on iPhone and Android, it's available on Windows 11 on Arm, and it works great! Plus, 2 big mobile wins for Epic Games and some th... more

AI can be used for better or worse, it is just a tool. Yes.
But saying people’s reactions against AI are “emotional” is completely bogus.
Maybe if ANY of you three did actual programming for your LIVELIHOOD and not as a freaking hobby you would feel similar existential dread at AI everywhere. As it is, you’re just some boomers with well-funded retirements, multiple homes, and cushy non-jobs telling others there’s no problems. Keep fluffing your AI overlords, homers.
The absolute gaslighting that Paul spouts every episode. We get it, you are an MS bootlicker, you are an AI bootlicker, and you disagree with actual security experts because you think you know better than them. Can you try to see that the things you like aren’t good? Stop peddling AI, and stop slandering legitimate experts and professionals.
The content is not bad. However, the mouth noises and lip smacking drives me nuts.
Leo, Paul and Richard do a great job covering the latest Windows and Microsoft news.
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years. It’s great for staying up to date in what’s happening with Microsoft, its technologies and adjacent companies and happenings in tech. I love the way the show has evolved subtly over time, particularly the brown liquor of the week.
