Tip of the week: Get the Fall Creators Update on your schedule

Immediately

App pick of the week: Microsoft + Android

Should Microsoft make its own Android handsets? Maybe. But you can do it yourself right now if you want.

Plus: Microsoft Edge Preview for Android is now available

Enterprise pick of the week: Cloud service map for AWS and Azure

This is amazing. Now you actually can compare AWS and Azure offerings side-by-side. Available also as downloadable PDF.

Codename pick of the week: Pyxis & Zariah

Beer pick of the week: Weird Beard Sorachi Face Plant

A tribute to my new kitty Sorachi (yes, named for the Sorachi hop): Weird Beard’s Sorachi Face Plant IPA. This London-based brewer made a strong, hoppy but also quite malty IPA. (Thanks to Steve Brown for the bottle!)
