Ten Presuppositions Sony owns the console lead this generation and no developer will give that up right now. More PCs than all consoles combined. Switch and Xbox combined will eventually approach PS4 usage base even if they never surpass it. Maintaining one online server is cheaper than...

Don't. Microsoft should handle that themselves with a wrapper.

I'm generally anti-acquiring because it stifles competition. Imagine how the world would be different if IBM had actually purchased Google for pocket change when it was given the chance in the 1990s. That being said, Xbox needs to beef up its gaming chops and taking over IPs will help: Square...

File Hippo has a good selection. I personally use Kaspersky on my desktop and Surface. I'm stuck with McAfee at work.

I'm playing the Rocksteady Arkham series because it was on sale a couple months ago and I never played the titles after the first one. I played Far Cry 5, but it felt more shallow than prior Far Cry titles and I've already 100% it; something I have yet to do with Far Cry Primal.

I think what helps Linux the most is the fact it has a much smaller footprint than Windows. This comes at a disadvantage to non-powerusers because the most aggravating thing about Linux is getting it to work with hardware. Microsoft needs to gut Windows more than they have. It already installs...

I don't buy unless I need to have access to a song offline, and I always used Amazon for that since they always used MP3. I only streamed Groove to support Microsoft. Now, I just use Amazon Prime Music.

Yes, though I admit I miss HP webOS more. Even with an "open" platform like Android, I find the constraints of using Google services too much. Even though I use Outlook, Launcher, Cortana, and OneDrive, the system is very quick to default back to Google whenever it can.

From a straight up competitor aspect, I'd say Google. More of Google's businesses overlap Microsoft's than Apple. But you could argue Amazon and Oracle are more dangerous to Microsoft.

I think they call it Xbox.

And that is why I fought against a mobile app solution at work when our web solution works fine.

MSFT is up almost 100% since his arrival. He's not going anywhere.

Whichever I'm in the mood for.

tl;dr: No. Long version: My Xbox One X is quieter than the power brick of the original Xbox One. For reference, I have it standing up vertically in an entertainment center. I have a WiiU and Switch sitting next to it which could be muffling the sound. However, I use to have the original XB1...

4K gaming, ultimately. But it'll be early next year before I can upgrade my TV for logistical reasons. So for now, I'm hoping for more speed out of day-to-day tasks and increases in the graphical quality of my current games.

Moved to Galaxy S8 when it launched and use Amazon Prime Music since it is included with Prime.

With the Xbox One X less than a month out, I'm curious what people plan on doing with their original model, not the S. Since the warranty is beyond expired, I'm tempted to crack it open and mod it into a secondary gaming device for my computer room. What are other people planning?

I stuck with webOS until the bitter end. I even bought a Pre 3 after HP put all of their TouchPads on a fire sale. But I can't do that with Windows Mobile. After a couple of what I call "canary apps" announced they were leaving, I jumped to Android. I've managed to use mostly Microsoft apps on...

Yes and no. I did my best to support Microsoft services but at the end of the day, there is no money in streaming music. Apple uses it to sell iPhones. Google uses it to sell ads. And Amazon tacks it on for free. Spotify is a private business who is far more invested in the market and I just...
