Has this site become "Games Central?"

[fiveaces01]

I used to read a lot of great articles and information from other Windows enthusiasists about the operating system and possible upcoming new devices, Not so much anymore...it seems to have morphed into gamer central with all the stories about Forza, Minecraft, Gears of War.. ad infinitum.

Would love to see more stories about how to fix problems users of Windows 10 are having and how to fix them or about why it seems to be so hard to attract more OEM's to build mobile devices that will run W10 since it is obvious that MS can't or won't build quality hardware, And if the MS vision has truly shifted to Enterprise then why not more about that...not stuff like Games that enterprise surely isn't too fond of when it comes to productivity at work

I believe that generally on weekends there is not much to report regarding new releases or updates. So they post these articles.

It's part of our expanded focus — all things Microsoft. So we're looking at Windows 10 and Mobile and Hololens and Xbox and everything else. There's been a lot of gaming content recently, yes, and that's simply due to there being a lot of worthy games hitting the market this time of year. Rest assured, later in October this place will look like Surface Central!

Ooooo, if anyone knows something it is this guy.

Welcome to our humble home, great to see you peeking in here.

Surface Central next month. Then January will be "Windows-based device Help Central". Then after that should be HoloLens Central here and at VR Heads.

Still waiting for an article on the issues with contacts missing pictures after the new outlook update

Re-added mine manually on my phone yesterday. A pain, but actually updated some old pics. Showing up in my outlook.com on PC now as well.

the contact pictures on my phone are still there but the ones on the outlook website are gone - so I'm just waiting for the ones on the phone to disappear too :grincry:

The pics on my phone didn't disappear until I jumped to RS2 on fast ring even though they were gone on my laptop. Hopefully you're safe. Fingers crossed.

I'm sticking with release ring - this is my primary and only device so I can't take the risks

Came here to post this exact thing. The site is seriously game heavy these days, and while I have an xbox, the balance is just well off what I think it should be.

I'm checking the site significantly less.

but not everyone plays games and xbox isn't that common world over. We do need articles on issues affecting windows users like the contact pictures disappearing or more news on office apps

 

[straightaways]

Yeah, certainly more of a balance is in order, for my tastes anyway.

I can't help but get the feeling the site is losing its way big time.

Guess I'll stick to thurrott for my Microsoft news.

Aside from news about apps leaving the platform, that is pretty much it. There are few to little devices being released and reviewed so that's expected.

but it's not always about devices - Microsoft is mainly software so how about software related news?

Ignite happened but what was there for us as windows users? Or office users?

Oooooh I like this thread!

Just wanted to chime in here real quick to touch on two things:

1) Rest assured, Derek and his team are pros, and they're going to cover all things Microsoft. Whatever happens to have the most value at the time, they're going to work on and produce at a very high level.

2) If you have suggestions, comments, or concerns please do reach out to me. We're all better together.
