    Steam gamers adopt Windows 11 much quicker than everyone else, but why?

    Many non-technical users out there have older computers that are incompatible with Win 11 but work perfectly fine for their low-impact usage on Win 10. They will likely use it till it stops running or can afford to buy a new computer. The requirements are more strict this time down to the...

    Windows 11 Start menu's performance is "comically bad" says ex-Microsoft Senior Software Engineer despite using a sophisticated $1,600 PC that meet...

    I haven't experienced any delays. That said I don't spend much time in the start menus since the applications I use are already open either in the task bar, pinned to the task bar, or in the system tray. When I do access the start menu, it's very responsive.

    Microsoft is making Windows 11 a little bit worse for touch users — I hope they change this

    It's true that most non power users barely check notifications and yiu find that they just let things pile up until the system forces whatever update is pending. By leveraging that gesture, MS are hoping these user stumble upon Copilot and become curious about it. It's a more interactive...

    I've been using it more lately, even used it in Paint, which was very interesting. I'll keep rocking with it and see what it offers for my use case.

    Xbox Game Pass has hit a new growth milestone, as Microsoft's gaming ambitions expand

    Folks need to let go of the Windows Phone thing, it's unhealthy and manifests PTSD whenever a rumour or decision is made, and then the negative emotions overflow. It's like holding on to the picture of an ex 10 years later and still wondering why you haven't found someone new. I loved the...

    Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer confirms some Xbox games are headed to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch

    The Internet today is always anxious, and nothing will stop that until folks try not to panic and jump on bandwagons of negativity. Have a discussion rather than a tirade and doomsday preaching. It's good they had this podcast that clears things up and sets up the future. We can look forward...

    An 'Xbox handheld' isn't just likely to happen. For Microsoft, it's absolutely necessary.

    They are pushing you to the people who indirectly forced them to "Nerf features" just to compete? Doubtful!

    They already have many handhelds on the market, they just need to tighten up the software on these devices so when you game on them they feel like an Xbox dedicated system. At the press of a button, the device is in gaming mode, all unneeded functions and background resources are disabled or...

    YouTube for Windows Phone is apparently getting updated soon (👀?!)

    I loved Windows phone and jumped on the first handset released till the last. I moved on naturally to Android, even though it's less elegant it grew on me and is very versatile. I rather not live in the past, instead appreciate the present and look forward to the future. So much good...
