Well at least it would free those games so truly everyone could play them. And they would do a better job at old game preservation and availability, though anyone would do it better than those jerks at Nintendo. Let's face it, Nintendo's game is about captive audience and setting the rules to...

Still enjoying my Lumia 950 XL. Why? I dislike the alternatives. Android and OS don't cut it for me. I don't feel hindered by the "app gap" at all in my daily use. So I'll keep buying and using Windows Phones until the next mobile thing from Microsoft comes. Will probably be that Andromeda...

A waste of time. People are delusional if they think they can steer the strategic plans of one of the world's biggest companies by signing a petition.

Exactly the kind of thoughts I had but didn't want to write in my reply.

Android? Makes no sense, at all. Misses the point of Andromeda by a lot. Android is too far from what Windows can achieve in a totally usage paradigm like this device will bring.

I'm very frustrated. I want to be able to control Spotify from Cortana, and I want to have all the Cortana services they have in USA. I also want a Harman Kardon speaker that works for my region and in my language, which is supported by Windows. Microsoft is making a mistake and losing users...

I had ZERO problems with the April Update, and I installed it on day one in FIVE PCs of greatly varying specs and performance. Some with aging or exotic hardware. ZERO problems.

Why are all these "Chime In" posts all about such dumb subjects? Microsoft creating their own exclusive chat service would be a mistake, as much as for any other OS, and that includes Apple. What they do is help propagate brand loyalty, because of a need to communicate within the same brand...

This is a masterpiece, clearly. It's so disruptive that people don't understand it and criticize it. It puts interaction and emergent gameplay to the forefront, which is refreshing after decades of the same "grinding to level up" mechanic of multiplayer games. it's a joy to play, even alone. A...

Personally I think that not only MR gaming will evolve beyond the current gimmick state of imitating or adapting proven game styles and mechanics, the breadth of MR experiences will have more applications outside of gaming. If you think of it as a new way of interacting with digital elements...

Of course I use notifications! Why wouldn't I?

MS has every right to promote use of their own browser. In contrast, how receptive is Chrome OS to be used with other browsers? Edge for example? MS gets all this crap for doing what any other company does.

How am I buying music? I'm not. I bought music with groove but now I just don't do it. I'm not that happy about Spotify either. I might buy very particular things on Bandcamp or directly from the artists.

Works for me 100%. In fact, I fully made it my main browser six months ago and I don't regret it.

Sorry, but it's not viable in any way, it's actually a bit silly to think of it.
