Nadella probably doesn't. Shareholders may if we cause enough of a ruckus. But you do have a point: however vocal we might be, MS can afford not to care.

Definitely not the only person. I've been saying this for months now as well. He is good with cloud and it pretty much stops there. Let him do the cloud thing if he wants but we NEED a more consumer-facing CEO. At this point it's so obvious it hurts. And by consumer-facing I don't mean "someone...

If I feel they "owe me something", that would be a decent lumia device that I can actually buy? Their store does no shipping here, the Alcatel is not available. Some vendors have HP imports that have such a hefty price tag you could get any current flagship for that price and that's just the...

I've been using it for ages as my main email address and here are the main reasons I prefer it to gmail (keep in mind, that some of these might be subjective or dependent on use-case): - Allows up to 5 aliases out of the box. That's a major bonus if you use that feature, or if you decide that...

Re: is Microsoft "dressing like" apple? why? I mean sure, we could have polycarbonate laptops but I'd argue that those wouldn't be as durable. What works for phone doesn't necessarily work for a laptop. Different form factors and different use-cases. Surface devices have always been...

we still lack the phone though. We made the laptop, we have the desktop and we arguably have the tablet as well. We still need to nail the phone.

Depends on availability here. As tempted as I am to travel to the US for it, I think that might be going overboard. I'll probably wait to see the availability in Europe, then figure something out.

I would like to disagree. Windows 10 pro (the current stable build) runs without any issues whatsoever on a system with 4 gigs of ram and a 2,8ghz dual-core processor. I upgraded it out of curiosity and it's smooth for day-to-day tasks. Not that I don't support having 8 gigabytes of RAM, but...

I would keep it at Windows 10S for as long as I can. I don't really have a use-case that would require me to upgrade, and edge is my daily driver anyway. Most of the stuff I use (office, pdf viewers, communication apps) every day are in the store already, the only thing that could prompt me to...

Platinum is nice, but too "basic". It's the safe bet, essentially. Your run-of-the-mill gray laptop. I'm torn between burgundy and graphite gold. Initially I thought I'd like the blue one, but somehow it seems...off. But then again that's a personal preference.

As much as it is a one in a million chance, I probably won't be able to get it for a while otherwise so I might as well try my luck here as well :) Been thinking of buying a new laptop for my EDC needs and the Surface Laptop just ticks all the right boxes. That having been said, good luck to...

Can't speak for iOS as I haven't owned an iPhone after the 6+ came out and I don't have it any more, so no idea what has changed. Android: Outlook is a bundled app, meaning you get contacts, calendar and email in one app. It feels crammed but otherwise useful (if they fixed that godawful bug...

You get this, heck, we all get this. Somehow though, MS doesn't seem to. The Galaxy S8 MS Edition was a really low blow. Not because the hardware is bad. Heck, I would argue that the only real shortcoming that phone has right now is Android itself, but that's a different matter. Still, MS...

Used a dumb phone when on a business trip (that was the device I rented so my colleagues could call me). The only thing I really missed from that was a better camera, and that's about all. If there was a compelling enough "dumb" smartphone out there I guess I could get by on it. Don't think I'd...

There is Skype and basically any other messaging app that you prefer for desktop or mobile and some can even handle your texts. Pick one that works for you. Most will never be as iMessage though, unless MS suddenly gets a ton of phone sales. They did have that with messaging back on WP7.5 with...
