For our 24th episode this week, we had a lot to talk about. The show started with a look at a session with Panos Panay at Ignite 2021. If you missed it, the Microsoft exec appeared to tease the next generation of Windows, which is why it was the biggest topic of discussion for Arif and Kareem.

The OnPodcast later went on to recap the other news out of Ignite 2021, covering Teams, Outlook, and more. The show then ends with a look at Edge 89, and the traditional Week Ahead segment where Arif and Kareem look at some emerging topics for the next week in Microsoft news.

That included a look at an op-ed Arif is planning about Chrome OS tablet mode, some late-breaking Microsoft news, a tease of a Lenovo review, as well as some Sun Valley news.

We then shifted over to talk about Windows 10 Sun Valley, and some new system icons that were hidden away and spotted deep in the system. Things then shifted to look at Bill Gates' divorce, which made headlines this week across the world.

Since we had good feedback last week, we also brought back our new "Fast Recap" segment. With this segment, we sped through some of the week's other (minor) stories in a short 8 minutes. That included a new font in a Windows Insider build, Sony's investment in Discord, Edge Beta coming to iOS, and other Xbox rumors about Game Pass on other consoles.

After that, we took a turn to talk about the controversy of which PCs will run Windows 11, and which won't. We also talked about some workarounds if you can't get Windows 11 on your device.

As always, the show ended with Fast Recap and Week Ahead. In Fast Recap, we looked at the following: Continue on PC on iPad and iPhone being discontinued, a new Outlook extension for Edge, Xbox Cloud Gaming updates, and new Designed for Xbox HDMI 2.1 monitors from Philips, ASUS, and Acer.
