    Microsoft just renamed its Edge browser on iOS and Android... kind of

    Yeah sure, I agree but its marketed as such. Like ChatGPT is labelled by many as just a fancy search engine by some. However, the lines are blurred a little as the chat bots are intelligently providing accurate answers based on what is asked, and even presenting intelligent alternative...

    Microsoft just renamed its Edge browser on iOS and Android... kind of

    You say that but it's creeping in everywhere with surprising acceptance. Where I work the Service Desk has a chat bot that is underused but surprisingly good at resolving first line issues and even more complex problems as it pulls resolutions from previous support tickets with remarkable...

    You say its not available to watch but this page seems to suggest it will be a watchable livestream: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/event

    How do I avoid making a Windows setup lame and boring?

    Kids & young girls don't give a crap about Windows devices. Trying to force them down their throats is a waste of time.

    How do I avoid making a Windows setup lame and boring?

    You can't make Windows or Windows devices interesting to kids/teenagers. They are primarily interested in their phones & social apps. Nothing Microsoft offers compares to the experience an iPhone & a bunch of social apps offers a teenager. The Surface Go will just be a secondary device and in...

    Possible retrenchment from MS

    I've completely removed Windows from my house. It's been a gradual process, but my personal equipment is an iMac, MacBook Pro 13", iPhone 7 (soon to be X) & iPad Pro 10.5". Everything works flawlessly together as you would expect and I am completely astonished at how good the iPad Pro is...

    What phones do the MS leaders use?

    Even worse than the complete lack of 3rd party app development and even worse than the fact that no one actually cares enough to buy a Windows Phone? Ok.

    What phones do the MS leaders use?

    iPhone's. Why would anyone want to use something that isn't the best at what it does?

    Fall Creators Update coming Oct. 17 — what are you most excited about?

    This is the second major update to Windows 10 in a row that isn't worth getting excited about. I can't think of a single new feature that I would call 'exciting'. There are a few interesting things which should have been there on day 1, but that's as far as my positivity goes. Microsoft...

    SLT initial store demo impressions

    Windows 10 S will be a more viable option in a year or two's time, assuming developers get on board and make their programs/applications available. For Windows 10 S to truly work, all applications need to be available to 10 S users, which just won't happen.

    This Surface Laptop is the First Overpriced Device With a Surface Branding

    We are not paying for the Surface logo! We're paying for the premium construction, exceptional screen (most people underestimate just how important this component is), fast storage and the fact that Microsoft will provide solid driver support for years. And I am someone who has been using Macs...

    This Surface Laptop is the First Overpriced Device With a Surface Branding

    Most people don't have a need for USB-C right now, therefore this decision pleases those that have standard USB connectivity requirements right now (so, nearly everyone). Yes, USB-C would have been nice, but it's not a deal breaker at all. I don't really see many better premium ultrabooks on...

    The Bezel

    I don't have a problem with the bezels on the Surface laptop. Plus I'd much rather have a top bezel that allows the camera etc to be housed in a sensible place rather than go for the horrific compromise Dell made with the XPS 13.
