    OPINION: This week's big Xbox drama showcases how little people trust Nadella's Microsoft — a legacy forged in the death of Windows Phone

    A baffling article, with baffling replies (only 3 but still) here in the comments. "it's MS fault a bunch of us got whipped into a fury of mass hysteria online over what amounts to basically nothing, magnified by society-failing social media, and MS didn't come right out to claim they are not...

    Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer: Xbox is planning a 'business update event' for next week

    "While I know some are worried about hardware, I'm not expecting that to go anywhere." then you and the people forcing Phil's hand (from above and below, or maybe including Phil himself) are fools. If the "Xbox got no games" become literal, and it doesn't actually take that many previous or...

    Report: Xbox is planning to publish Starfield on PlayStation 5

    "The part of the report from XboxEra I can corroborate is that the decision to do this has been the subject of stringent internal debate, and even now, seems to be perceived as a huge risk." Risk? It WILL kill their console, there is NO risk, it's a guarantee - and Game Pass goes with it...

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

    "Many users don't want to deal with the complexity of Windows in general, which is why Steam is finding new audiences with its simple-interface Steam Deck, which plays all your favorite Windows games without the ******** of Windows itself. " My lord, I bite my tongue on most of it, but you...

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

    " I would argue that Xbox owners are probably considering PlayStation consoles as well at least for companion devices more so than the inverse — owing to single-player exclusives like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (which looks fantastic)." A study linked to on that console sales website (vgcharts?)...

    Xbox announced 'Marvel's Blade' at The Game Awards — but could it also be coming to PlayStation?

    "Too often does it feel like Microsoft and Xbox announcements come with some kind of confusion or caveat attached, whereas Xbox's competitors are by and large far more consistent with messaging and delivery. " Actually, this doesn't happen the vast majority of the time (really, if you factor...

    Windows finally has its Apple Mac moment, and I'm more excited about the future of laptops than ever before

    Given what the Apple M chip does, and is shown to do when people force other stuff to run on it, than the issues was no x86 emulation - the issue was getting something to run it fast enough, IF this snapdragon stuff is not vaporware, then that solves the issue. It doesnt reall matter, in the...

    Windows Copilot is about to cozy up with Windows 11

    good - just being a hidden browser windows that behaves the same as the bing feature makes it basically pointless - either you dont care about that bing bot and this will not change that, or you do, but hey, you need the net connection anyway and have some browser installed, but how does a local...

    Xbox Game Pass Core makes the 'console tax' more obvious than ever

    no, all of the prices are the same, you just get more for $10 on PC - thats not more for less, its less for the same. Also you characierzation of MS's other software is laughable at best.

    Xbox Game Pass Core makes the 'console tax' more obvious than ever

    "Xbox console players have increasingly shared frustrations and disappointment surrounding the perceived lack of attention for dedicated Xbox hardware." Xbots are delusional as ever- it's sort of like that study where they give on kid more cookies and everyone else noticeably less, but then...

    Microsoft snuck out a new feature for fixing Windows 11 in a recent Insider build

    the already included reset will blow away non store apps and plenty of other things (like plenty of settings, and a lot of drivers, etc.). what this new feature seems to be is the good old fashioned "in place upgrade" people use to do in the olden days - that is, for example, update Windows XP...

    What do you think of this Windows 12 concept?

    i have the button turned off, but that aggregator is as good as you make it - its default is crap, but so are most aggregators if you dont go in customize.

    What do you think of this Windows 12 concept?

    the concept is not from MS, its from some designer with a youtube account also, I love how anything that looks refined in terms of UI is "appling" even thought nothing official about Windows 10 or 11 is apply like at all, beyond just looking nice. EDIT - also its funny to me how many windows...
