    I keep coming back to Windows Phone

    Re: I Keep coming back to WP I miss Windows Phone. WP8.1 was superb: fluid, responsive, so easy to use; it was clear that MS had put a lot of research into the interface. Pivots were a joy. And then WM10 arrived, and MS destroyed all that I loved about 8.1. Smooth animations with visual...

    Is it just me or are universal apps picking up momentum?

    Is it just me or are universal apps picking up momentum? How fast are you going? Seriously, Android apps are more 'universal' than Windows apps. I can run ? and do run ? Android apps on my Android phone (of course), Windows 10 desktop, Windows 10 tablet, and Macbook. OK, so I need to be...

    Joe Belfiore uses an iPhone

    That doesn't make sense. He COULD care less about using an iPhone? Shouldn't that be "COULDN'T care less about using a Window Phone"? Whatever, he can use whatever device he chooses. Freedom of expression...

    Is the 950/950XL still a good investment given Mr. Nadella's recent statements?

    Agreed. If I take a photo, it automatically syncs with both Google Drive and OneDrive. And within a few seconds I can access them on all my devices - a mix of Windows, Android, and Apple. As for Cortana, I always felt it was poorly implemented in WP8.1. Not using it crippled too many features.

    My Opinion: The Death of Windows Phone: As a Windows Fan I Don't Need One

    IF developers are attracted to Windows 10 universal apps, then I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade to a 950. But I'm not going to risk it at the moment. It's a game of wait and see...

    The Windows Phone App Gap Thread

    Hangouts? No, and there's no third party alternative. Orbot? No, there's no app that will automatically route all internet traffic via TOR. DNS changer? - No, can't find an app that will automatically change the DNS settings. I love my Lumia 735, but there is FOR ME an app gap that makes sticky...

    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    I'd like to say 'yes', but at the moment I'm swayed towards 'No.' WP8.1 was a secure OS - you couldn't hack it the same way you could iOS and Android. But W10M has already been cracked wide open, with hacks available that fully expose the file system and registry. Given that Windows is a very...

    Is Windows 10 the most hated OS?

    Microsoft was found to be abusing its position by the US and the EU. Google is under investigation, but has not been found guilty of anything so far. The 'consumer' versions of Windows 10 do not allow you to turn off 'Diagnostic and usage data' without a registry hack; MS will always collect...

    Windows 10 is SLOW and heats up my Laptop. WHY?

    Drivers. I had the same issue on my HP laptop, but once I'd installed the correct graphics drivers, the slowness as reduced, though not eliminated. To install the drivers, I opened the Management console, right clicked the entry for graphics, and clicked UPDATE.
