Windows Weekly 543

Xbox One X is a game changer, literally, the first true 4K video game console. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive. This is the kind of press---and lines at their stores---that Microsoft never gets. 

How to decide: Should you get an Xbox One X?  
Phil Spencer says MS is going to invest even more in first party games (and that MS may try again to do an Azure-powered streaming service.)  If at first you don't succeed (with Arcadia), try, try again? 

Intel is teaming up with AMD for high-end portable PCs - Why? 
Broadcom wants to purchase Qualcomm for $100+ billion (!) - Why?

Microsoft ships Windows 10 IoT Fall Creators Update.
Win 10 Enterprise users will be able to integrate 3rd p. Security services w. Win 10 Defender ATP.
