Windows 11: We're having another moment!

After hitting Release Preview last week, Moment 3 will arrive in preview form next week (Week D) or the following week and then head to stable on June 13 (Patch Tuesday).
Now we have a better understanding of Microsoft's update schedule for Windows 11
Feature Updates - one per year in H2, deployed logically using best-known configurations first
Moments - once per quarter
Controlled Feature Releases (CFRs) - almost every month, deployed randomly
App updates - can happen anytime based on readiness\
Continuous innovation isn't just for Windows. In fact, we can assume that mobile was the inspiration for this. Windows feels pressure from mobile. Does mobile feel pressure from web?
When Moment 3 arrives, can people in Release Preview automatically exit Insider Preview?
Phone Link support for iPhone goes to stable
Windows 10 version 21H2 exits support next month, leaving 22H2 as the last version standing for non-managed businesses

Bing/AI/cloud

Bing chatbot gets contextual chat, a few changes on mobile
EU begins an antitrust investigation of Azure

Google barely mentioned Android 14 and didn't mention Google Assistant at IO keynote. This is by design: Like Microsoft marketing the cloud before it was ready for 10 years, Google is marketing AI

Dev

First Rust code shows up in the Windows kernel (in Insider)
Visual Studio is getting its first visual refresh in over 10 years

Build 2023 is next week! Any sessions stand out? (You can save sessions you want to see to your virtual backpack)

Xbox

UK CMA acts like a bunch of crybabies
Microsoft announces more Game Pass titles for May
