Roundup It's the summer holidays. A good time to do things while nobody's watching. Except The Register, of course. Aside from sneaking Notepad into the store, last week Microsoft gave Insiders a new 2020 Windows 10 build, added features back into Skype, rounded out Azure's persistent disk storage and prepared a Typescript update.

Microsoft's self-described "well-loved" text editor for Windows, Notepad, is to be made "store updateable", a move we hope isn't a precursor to a wholesale jettisoning from the operating system.
