SolarWinds hackers viewed MS source code, 21H1 and the future of Windows 10, and Xbox Series X|S shortages.


  • The future of Windows 10 (and lack of information): Microsoft tests 'news and interests' feature in the taskbar, and rumor is testers should move soon if they want to keep testing 21H1.

  • Microsoft mulligans: New 'Sun Valley' Windows 10 UX for version 2021, 'One Outlook' to unify desktop and web-based clients, and history/tabs sync is coming to Edge.

  • Cloud: More on Microsoft's Azure-in-a-shipping-container MDC

  • More SolarWinds fallout: Microsoft says hackers viewed some of its source code but didn't try to attack the corporate domain.

  • Xbox: Microsoft to address Series X|S shortages, RIP Minecraft Earth, the first Game Pass titles of 2021, and Bloomberg's piece on Xbox's creation and 20-year history.
