What Windows Wants for Christmas with Paul Thurrott
So what does Windows want for Christmas? Paul Thurrott is back to talk about everything that happened to Windows in 2025, and what that might hold for 2026. Paul talks about Pavan Davuluri being promoted to President of Windows & Devices - and reunifying the Windows Client and Windows Core teams. That sets up an opportunity to make some significant moves from Windows, which, of course, will involve AI - although the reaction to the public when Pavan said as much was not all that positive. Windows has plenty of problems to address, but one of the brighter notes is Windows on ARM and the Snapdragon processor. And maybe, just maybe, someone's wish will come true, and we'll see Windows 12!
