Hello from Richmond.
Rumor is that tomorrow Hollywood will have a Fifty Shades Darker trailer for movie goers frustrated by quality writing from Woody Allen and box office earners fueled by Marvel characters. That news came just as Microsoft announced some grey and green related news of its own. The company is introducing three -- yes three different Xbox One S Battlefield 1 bundles over two months.

I once infamously claimed that Windows 8 was fine. I said – publicly – that people who didn’t like Microsoft’s efforts to modernize Windows should be “dragged kicking and screaming” into the modern era. I’ve aged enough to know that comment was pretty, though I’m sure I could probably dig up worse things I've said on Twitter. By the time Microsoft was ready to release Windows 10, I’d matured. Sure, I liked the operating system and the Surface Pro 4 that the company introduced soon after its Windows 10 launch. I’d been using the new software for months. It was fine, but I urged people to hold off on upgrading. I wanted normal users to take themselves out of the line of fire. I didn’t want anyone loading the operating system on their device and finding a completely broken experience.

Today developer 343 Industries rolled out Anvil's Legacy, or what most people are just calling the September Halo 5 Update. The update includes a File Browser so that users don't have to wade through profiles to find great Forge Mode creations.

“Another year gone.” That’s how Professor Albus Dumbledore began the last scene in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. A year has passed since Microsoft introduced yet another iteration of Groove Music, the music service that it’s offered under no less than three different brand names in the last ten years. Those prior names include Zune. Perhaps it’s fate but this October marks 10 years since Microsoft first introduced Zune.
