Bing outage, NVIDIA's record Q1 FY25, WPF's rebirth Windows 11 A quick look back at the Copilot+ PC launch Paul did end up making a video of each MacBook Air reference during last week's launch The Copilot+ PC event was also notable for its many references to the past: Paul counted at least 7 in the first 7 minutes alone After some soul-searching, Paul went all-in on Surface Laptop by canceling the first preorder and bulking it up with more RAM and storage Release Preview (last week): 24H2 comes to RP, suggesting it hits stable on Tuesday, June 11 (in preview), one week before the first Copilot+ PCs arrive with this build preinstalled Beta (last week): 23H2 build with no new features (arriving after 24H2 in Release Preview, of course) Microsoft Edge is getting more responsive thanks to a "WebUI 2.0" initiative Lenovo earnings up 9 percent in quarter, down 8 percent for the year.
