There was a lot that happened on OnPodcast this week. We ended up talking about new Windows 11 features, OneNote, and a new Windows 11 build. We also ran through other Microsoft topics from the week like Windows 365 Cloud PC, Swiftkey Beta, and Edge 93. And, we teased some upcoming product reviews.
