Halo Infinite 2nd beta weekend goes live; Microsoft Office 2021 starts at $149.99; 30 million PCs from 60,000 organizations aren't ready for Windows 11

October 01, 2021

Friday October 1.

Microsoft has released optional C/D release updates for Windows 10 versions 2004 and newer. The updates bring fixes for Outlook issues, other stability improvements, and a ton of other fixes.

Microsoft has provided more details regarding pricing and features for Office 2021, launching on October 5. Pricing starts at $149.99 with a fresh UI that matches the design language of Windows 11.

Recently we came to know that the Chromium dev team at Google is working on Windows 11-style context menus sporting rounded corners. The feature is now in Canary and we took a look.

The latest Edge Canary update brings the ability to hide the Extensions button along with all the icons in the toolbar. Previously, hiding the menu would spew all icons back onto the toolbar.

A large-scale survey of around 30 million PCs from among 60,000 organizations has shown that the majority of such devices aren't ready for Windows 11 as they do not fulfill the system requirements.

The second weekend of Halo Infinite testing has begun, with 343 Industries preparing to open 12 versus 12 Big Team Battle for the first time. The test is open to almost all Xbox and PC players.
