Fixed that for you.

But don't blame Microsoft for that.   Apple uses all the great iPhone apps as a reason to buy iPhone -- and the lack of them was a major reason for the failure of the Windows phone.

I am most fortunate, I have no requirements to run any Windows apps at all and find none the least bit appealing. They were once a big part of my world, but those days are long past.

Same as Kris2112 - my Intel MBP shows the update, but my M1 MacBook Air does not. Waiting to see what happens.

I was just in a large, high-end condo building in Seattle this weekend. 38 floors, only really 37 because there was no "13" on the elevator. Old superstitions persist, from small things like this to some really big things that are outside this thread! I just hope the people on the 14th floor never figure it out...

I'm fine with 13, it's simply a convenient prime number and people made up numbers.

While I'm sure that this will make Neil Young happy, I don't see much of an audience for this feature for one simple reason: the vast majority of listeners won't notice or be able to detect any difference and thus will not bother to pay for or enable it. Even with "nice" equipment, the audible differences between 256kbps MP3 or AAC and CD-level lossless are very, very small - far too small for a mass audience to care about, IMHO. This is at best aimed at a niche market. Sidebar: Amazon claims to offer this in "HD" and "Ultra HD", the latter being 192kHz/24-bit. That's swell, but how many recordings are natively recorded at 192/24? If a recording was made using 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz sample rates, then no amount of upsampling helps and you're just wasting data. I wonder what their logic is, beyond "more is better"?
