Even though it is a holiday weekend in both the US and Canada both Paul and myself forsake the partying and socializing to bring you the weekend podcast we lovingly call WinExtra on Windows, or as it is also know – WoW. So while others are enjoying the fumes from the hundreds of BBQs that are undoubtedly getting fired up we take a look at this past week’s Windows and Microsoft news.
