“I really enjoy the show, can do without the “back of the book” part. Would love a little bit more on O365 and Microsoft 365.”

“Paul Thurrott has credibility but this podcast is far too long and rambling. It’s 2 hours but can be cut to one without much loss. Paul also seems to focus on the individual use of Windows without giving much consideration as to why Microsoft is doing things for the enterprise. Get an editor...”Read full review »

“I mean if Paul can’t finish his statement/argument before Leo interrupts, it’s the Leo show. It’s like watching a debate on MSNBC. The guests or “co hosts” can’t finish what they are saying because Leo can’t allow a difference in opinion on his show. It’s so cringe. Poor Richard is just sitting...”Read full review »

“Since bringing Richard in as the new co-host, the show spends more time on developer topics or the inside workings of Windows. I miss the 365 or enterprise topics they used to discuss. Still a worthy listen for IT but less applicable information than there used to be.”

“We’re witnessing the death of once great podcast and really, I think, of a podcast network. Welcome to old guys talking about random stuff. The worst possible choice to replace Mary Jo. This podcast was already pretty much unlistenable without Mary Jo Foley. Now it has tipped the scales entirely....”Read full review »

“I started listening when it started, before Mary Jo joined. It’s remained one of my favourites even as I’ve moved away from Windows. It’s just a great trio of hosts, with great personalities and quirks, that make for an entertaining listen.”

“Like others have said, this show is really depressing. Leo barely pays attention, Paul rants, and Mary Jo nods. It wears.
There’s not a better over-arching Microsoft podcast out there, which is also quite sad.
I’ve listened for years because there’s content in the middle of all the negativity,...”Read full review »

“Every topic is created by a sigh, a complaint or an excuse about why the Windows / Microsoft world is this terrible.

“This is a show like none other. Most of the show is made up of ASMR-style sighing and awkward, drawn-out pauses. Mary Jo’s “yep”s throughout the show are her primary contribution to the conversation, and slowly lulls you to sleep. Paul’s knowledge is evident but his highly dispassionate style...”Read full review »

“Great idea for podcast, but it's an unbearalbe waste of time, because--really--it's like an hour-and-a-half to say what they could just say in 20-30 mintues.
Sorry--why don't you just cut out all the idiotic chit-chat?”Read full review »

Way too many / too long ads, but that is not unique to this podcast. Most importantly Leo often seems distracted or checked out. It would probably be better if...”Read full review »

“Paul is like a black hole of negativity. All he does is complain…about everything. He loathes Apple to his core so if that subject comes up that is what you get. Marry Jo needs to distance herself from both Paul and Leo who is just a mess.
This pod cast is about Windows 10 beta builds and...”Read full review »
