Google will release the final version of Chrome for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 sometime next year. Chrome 110, which is tentatively scheduled to be released on February 7th, 2023, will be the last version that supports the two older Microsoft operating systems, according to a Google support page (via Android Police).
This could be a bigger deal than you might think. Despite Windows 7 first being released in 2009 and Microsoft officially ending support for it in 2020, data suggests that the operating system is still running on a whole lot of devices: as recently as last year, that number was estimated to be at least 100 million PCs. That means a lot of people could soon be both an unsupported operating system and an unsupported web…

Apple Releases iTunes 12.12.6 for Windows With Support for New iPads
The updated version of iTunes comes ahead of the Wednesday launch of the updated iPad and iPad Pro models. The iPad features an all-new design that does away with the Home button, bright chassis colors, an updated A-series chip, and a Touch ID power button, putting it nearly on par with the iPad Air.
The iPad Pro features an updated M2 chip, WiFi 6E, and a new Apple Pencil “hover” function that allows the display to detect the Apple Pencil when it is up to 12mm away.
iTunes for Windows can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store or from Apple’s website.

What does Windows 10 22H2 bring to the table? Not much.
So, Windows 10 22H2 is finally out. And it includes…well…um…just what exactly?
First, remember that this fall brings two 22H2 releases: One for Windows 11, one for Windows 10. While Windows 11 22H2 has a lot of changes (such as File Tab explorer, which just rolled out), Windows 10 22H2 is, in the words of Microsoft, a much more “scoped” release “focused on quality improvements to the overall Windows experience in existing feature areas such as quality, productivity, and security.”

Zeek Becoming Part of Microsoft Windows
Zeek, the open source network security monitoring platform, is being integrated into Windows and “is now deployed on more than one billion global endpoints,” according to an announcement from Corelight.
From Corelight’s press release:
Corelight, the leader in open network detection and response, today announced the integration of Zeek, the world’s most popular open source network security monitoring platform, as a component of Microsoft Windows and Defender for Endpoint. The integration will help security teams respond to the most challenging attacks by providing “richer signals for advanced threat hunting, complete and accurate discovery of IoT devices, and more powerful detection and response capabilities.”
Originally created by Corelight co-founder and chief scientist Dr. Vern Paxson while at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Zeek transforms network traffic into compact and high-fidelity logs, file content, and behavioral analytics to accelerate security operations. Vital funding for Zeek came initially from the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy’s Office of Science. As adoption increased, Corelight was founded to provide a financial model and corporate sponsor for the project….
“Microsoft is strongly committed to supporting open source projects and ecosystems,” said Rob Lefferts, corporate vice president for Microsoft. “We’re proud to be working with Zeek and are thrilled to bring this level of network intelligence and monitoring to our customers.”
“This is an amazing development for Zeek and its community of contributors and users,” said Paxson. “I never imagined that the tool I developed for network monitoring would find broader application in defending endpoints — but that’s part of the creative magic of open source development.
“We are grateful for Microsoft’s contributions and support, and we are excited that the project’s impact, and that of the community of contributors, will increase so dramatically.”
