RunAs Radio is a weekly Internet Audio Talk Show for IT Professionals working with Microsoft products.

What does Windows want for Christmas? Richard chats with Paul Thurrott about the crazy year that Windows has had and what 2025 holds. Paul starts with the Ignite keynote that focused on Windows being an open platform - which sounds funny on the surface, but has some logic to it! Security is a key part of that story, which brings up the issues around Crowdstrike and the Secure Future Initiative. And then there's Windows 10 going out of support in 2025 - what choices do you have going forward? Two grumpy old men ring out the year – have a great holiday season!Links<ul><li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trust-center/security/secure-future-initiative">Secure Future Initiative</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2024/11/19/windows-security-and-resiliency-protecting-your-business/">Windows Security and Resiliency</a></li><li><a href="https://ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/GS06?source=sessions">What's new in Windows Security, Productivity, and Cloud</a></li><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-windows-server-2025?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">Windows Server 2025</a></li><li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/end-of-support?r=1">Windows 10 End of Support</a></li></ul>Recorded December 5, 2024

A Very Windows Christmas with Paul Thurrott

Ready for some real-time intelligence? Richard chats with Yitzhak Kesselman about Real-Time Intelligence in Microsoft Fabric. Yitzhak talks about what it means to be real-time - that your company has a data analytics need with an ROI affected by a short amount of time. Perhaps it's a factory making products incorrectly or even issues with response times in a call center. The process involves bringing streaming data sources into the real-time hub and then attaching dashboards to them to see data as it changes. Fabric simplifies this tooling so domain experts can do much of the exploration. Once you have valuable and actionable information coming in, you have the activator options, including messaging via email or Teams, all the way to Power Automate to affect almost anything!Links<ul><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/real-time-intelligence?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">Real-Time Intelligence in Microsoft Fabric</a></li><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/real-time-hub/real-time-hub-overview?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">Fabric Real-Time Hub</a></li><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/real-time-intelligence/dashboard-real-time-create?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">Real-Time Dashboard</a></li><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/release-plan/real-time-intelligence?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">Real-Time Activator</a></li><li><a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/power-automate">Power Automate</a></li></ul>Recorded October 29, 2024

Can government agencies use M365 Copilot? Soon! Richard chats with Angela Dugan about how government entities: federal, state, counties, and cities, are exploring the power of M365 Copilot. Angela talks about the US Government GCC process for making M365 Copilot available in the next few months. The conversation turns to the usual challenges of data governance and security - all the same problems any other organization would have with tools that explore every element of data. Getting your data estate in order isn't easy - but the potential benefits in government are tremendous - providing more services to constituents for less cost!Links<ul><li><a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/public-sector-blog/microsoft-365-copilot-gcc-ga-update-empowering-public-sector/ba-p/4222952">Microsoft 365 Copilot GCC</a></li><li><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/sharepoint/collaboration">SharePoint</a></li><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-platform-service-description/office-365-us-government/onedrive?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">OneDrive for US Government</a></li><li><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/purview?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-10953">Microsoft Purview</a></li></ul>Recorded October 29, 2024
