Could Microsoft use xCloud and Andromeda together?

Why are Windows Phones still getting OS updates (and do they do anything) and can you use the new Surface Headphones wirelessly with an Xbox? Plus, I discuss the contentious Type-C issue with the new Surface Laptop 2 and Surface Pro 6 and using xCloud with Andromeda.

Grab a coffee and tune in!
