Welcome to the second beta episode of the Neowin Podcast, the weekly show where Rich Woods and João Carrasqueira talk about the biggest Microsoft and tech news of the past week. With a rather slow news period for the past few days, we turned some of our attention to the upcoming developer events from Microsoft and Google - Build and I/O. We also talk about the slow rollout of Windows 10 version 1809 and the new HoloLens 2 Development Edition.
Before you jump into this week's episode, here's a rundown of the news we talk about, so you can get some context:
