Windows Central Podcast 9: Xboxpalooza!
The Windows Central Podcast — this week: Xbox is in the air

This week, Derek Kessler, Daniel Rubino, Jez Corden, and Zac Bowden gather 'round the microphones for a talk on the week's biggest news in Windows. And what a huge week it was: we've got not just the Xbox One S landing with a compacted design and 4K video, but also it's bringing new software that will show up on the older Xbox One as well: the Xbox One Summer Update.
Plus, you might have noticed this little update for your Windows 10 PC — yes, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update is finally here. After months of Insider builds and user feedback, the biggest update yet for Windows 10 has arrived, bringing advanced inking features, a revised Start Menu, and so much more.
