I'm inclined to agree with you. I work as an IT professional. Were I to decide to start coding mobile apps, I would ask myself, "Do I want to create an app that likely has three or four dozen competitors already established, and mine will be lost in the crowd, or do I want to code apps for an...

Hell. To. The. Yes. I. Do!

As an IT Manager, I'm can't say that I completely agree with you. I do think that we'll see a leveling off of the number of Windows PCs and servers, mostly due to cloud infrastructure. However, Windows is still far and away the backbone workhorse of the enterprise segment, well over 90% of...

Valid point. And beyond that, the fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people that go to work each day and use a computer are using a Windows computer. What makes little sense is that because of this, MS effectively has a captive audience of hundreds of millions of people for 40 or...

Call me crazy, but I'm still a fan of the smaller 8 inch tablets. I'm an IT manager, and while I have a full-tilt monster desktop at my disposal, when I'm roaming our 50,000 square foot facility, even my Lenovo Miix 510 Surface clone seems too big to lug around for simple tasks. I have a...

Maybe this is an example of looking at the same scenery from two very different angles... I use Windows Phone because I like it compared to other platforms. It's fast, fluid, unique, and more interactive than other platforms. As an It pro, I like how it integrates and syncs with my Windows...

I just bought a Lenovo Miix 510 Surface clone, so I'm not a need of another device. But even if I did have the need, I think I'd still opt for a 2-in-1, rather than being locked to clamshell device. Granted, my Miix gets used mainly with the keyboard attached, but there are times when it's...

I'm an IT professional. I have 75 Windows Phones deployed to staff. My wife and I have been Windows Phone users since the Samsung Focus. I have kept all of our old Windows Phones (920/640/830), which still work, and we currently have 950's We'll stop using Windows Phones when all of those...

I'm the IT person at a business that has 4 dozen older Windows Phones deployed (920/830/640). I'm currently going through a "testing" phase with myslef and 4 other senior managers having the new Lumia 950. We like the 950's but noticed an issue that makes it a "no go" for upgrading most of the...

MS has at times marketed their Windows Phone as a great solution for businesses. And I don't entirely disagree with that sentiment. I know as an IT professional I am much happier now having switched our entire operation to Windows Phone 3 years ago, than I was when we were a mixed...

re: [Real Users] My Lumia 950 Detailed Review I got mine yesterday. Still a bit choppy here and there, but certainly usable. The screen is just amazeballs! I've used Hulu, Netflix, and Plex, and everything looks great. Upscaling works well. I pulled up an episode of Stargate Universe and it...

Keep in mind that while there have a been a "myriad of shortfalls" in WP, they effort has been concentrated on getting Windows to a common kernel. Once that is done and WP is officially out for the general public, I expect that the focus will shift to actually improving the product. This is no...

Re: 940XL features leaked Johnny. my response was less about anything MS is or is not doing, and more about the elitist mentality of many. As I said in my original post, it's perfectly okay and understandable to make construction suggestions and critiques. But as someone who works with tech...

Re: 940XL features leaked So you have 1 post, but make the statement that "many of us here are in IT." How would you know? And if you have been "lurking" long enough to glean that info, I'm curious why you chose my posts to pop your head up and say something. Yes...

Re: 940XL features leaked I have to say that I find myself a bit surprised at all the negative reaction to the specs. I'm an IT professional and I use my phone A LOT. For A LOT of different things. It's a 1020. Not that I would turn down a micro SD slot, but I've never hit the limit of the...
