Main Discussion Topics Tay, Microsoft's new AI bot made it just one day online as a hip Millennial female. Apparently she made some racist remarks and had her plug pulled. Skype is now shifting to a UWP, which will replace pretty much everything that we have now. Still unknown just what will happen to the current integration in Windows 10 Mobile. Microsoft may back the purchase of Yahoo?

Support
We appreciate every one of you who listens to the MS Mobile Show on a regular basis. We love the interactions as well. Without you the listener, the show becomes a pair of guys rambling on.
The show is produced and accessible for you at absolutely no cost to you other than time to listen.
While we love to bring this show to you, we would love to be able to have some more fun and have the ability to be able to buy things like T-shirts, coffee mugs, devices and software to be able to do regular giveaways like other websites and podcasts.
To do this, we would ask if you could spare as little as $1 per month ($12 a year) to help us achieve this in 2016. As many listeners as we have, according to our stats, we could do some serious giveaways if every listener signed up for just $1 per month.
To support the show, and help us make this possible, please visit our Support page in order to find out how to help this happen.
As always, thank you for listening and/or watching!
