Happy Holidays from Neowin; Microsoft Weekly; Microsoft: Fix the upvote counts in your Feedback Hub

Sunday, December 26. I hope you're having a great Christmas weekend and Happy New Year! I hope you will check out some of the content below —Steve

While this week was relatively slow due to the holiday season, we do have some notable items to recap including Active Directory woes, a couple of acquisitions, and what almost became Cortana's name.

This weekend's PC Game Deals include a whole lot of winter discounts from all over, more daily freebies from the Epic Games Store, a couple of Humble bundles to snap up, and much more.

Microsoft is kicking off January Games with Gold with four more bonus titles for Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. Here are the games included in the two upcoming waves.

Microsoft's Feedback Hub is supposed to be a major channel to voice your feedback to the company, but some apparent issues are resulting in upvote counts decreasing as much as 40% in a few days.

While more than 40 tech companies have confirmed their CES 2022 will be a digital-only event, 60+ businesses have booked floor space recently. Fully vaccinated people with masks can attend the event.

After months of alternating between Windows 10 and Windows 11 on my primary machine, I feel like I kind of miss the News and Interests integration with the Taskbar that was offered in the former.

Epic Games Store has put on offer Control to claim and keep for free on the tenth day of its Winter Sale. It's an action title by Remedy Entertainment set in the same universe as Alan Wake.

After the successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, we have a quiet week ahead. It'll be interesting though because Russia is planning the third test flight of its Angara A5 rocket.
