    Microsoft has cut back on its more 'experimental' Surface hardware lines

    Question is what have they been good at recently. Windows 11 is 10 with a fresh coat of paint. Forcing people to abandon perfectly good machines. All to mine your information to make money from you. At least Google is up front with it. Meanwhile, the great software company can't make an arm...

    Microsoft has cut back on its more 'experimental' Surface hardware lines

    More like, Satya: Hey Panny can I talk to you? Panos: Sure what ya need? Satya: We're going to focus more on AI so we'll have to pull back in other areas. Panos: I see where's that? Satya: Your division, we're only doing the what has been selling. Oh and we're cutting staff and funding. That...

    Internal memo sheds light on the future of Windows and Surface without Panos Panay

    "What's ahead", I'll tell you what's ahead. The inevitable closure of all hardware made by Microsoft that's what's ahead. Panos was just the next shoe to drop. Satya has had an obsession with closing all the hardware division. First victim was Windows Mobile, next was the Brick and Mortar...

    This 'Windows 11 Mobile' concept offers a glimpse at what could have been

    Well right now they have to get Windows itself running on ARM right first. Then you can tailor it for mobile (both handheld and phones). Then it really is a matter if the program runs on Win ARM it should run on other devices. The coding can happen once it's a unified code. Having Satya require...

    This 'Windows 11 Mobile' concept offers a glimpse at what could have been

    There's nothing stopping Microsoft from starting up it's mobile division again except themselves. Or more specifically one person, that would be Satya Nadella. Yes he focused on what Microsoft does best Business plain and simple. Now though things are changing again. With Apple making it's own...

    What phone are you using these days?

    After my 640 I went to Nokia android one phone then lately i've been on a Pixel 3xl now Pixel 7. Though I do double fist with an iPhone Xr when I switched carries. If Google hadn't actively sabotaged WP they could have been the viable third option.

    Microsoft owes us that have stuck with them since Windows Phone 7 and even beyond!!!

    I'm one of those crazies still having a functional wp with win 10 on it. It's sad to know that I have a snowballs chance in hell of seeing it updated to something useful. As to do they owe us anything. From a corporate look no. If they want success later though. They would be smart to throw us...

    Why do people think that Windows 10 on ARM can save Surface Phone?

    The whole PC on a phone is going about it the wrong way. It's more about you'll have everything with you regardless. If I could just have a small handheld as the core. Then plugging in to do more complicated work is a no brainier. Cshell is what makes this all work. On the go it looks and acts...

    Why are you leaving Windows Mobile over OneDrive storage reductions?

    It's been mentioned here that what people are saying that this is a trust issue. Add to that that it looks like a deliberate bait and switch on M$ (yes I am using $ for them they deserve it even more now) part. People are reacting the only way they can with their wallets. As much as I want WP...

    There May Be Hope For WP8 After All

    There is a lot to like about WP8, Microsoft has done a great job with it. Yes apps rule and there is a lack of them from the major creators (candy crush being one of them). The bigger problem a person coming from android is the lack of Google support. I'm tied into Google voice too much to just...

    People demanding Windows 9

    There is much to agree with as concerns the clamor for Windows 9. I to think that Microsoft is going to the right places now with 8.1. That said, Microsoft screwed the pooch when they tried to **** kick people to 8. They were totally tone deaf to the beta testers who where screaming about how...

    So who is getting a nokia 925

    If as it seems the US 925 on Tmo is just 16MB, I'll pass. Since there is no way to get an sd card in there. There is barely any room for anything on it. (7MB smsh) I'd get the Nexus 4 at least then even with just the same memory you get a lot more usable space. Oh and the price differential is...

    This is why Windows Phone 8 / Xbox Music will never work (support chat included)

    Granted the OP may have been able to handle it a better way. Saying that though when you have a script drone at lv 1 what can we expect. Where it broke down was when it got personal. Instead of being accommodating and escalating, the CSR got obstinate to. Kinda sucks that the OP did the purchase...

    Nokia frustration does not = hate for OEM

    It's not so much hate on Nokia its the stupidity of their movements. This is probably the best made phone from a technical point of view. That being said the 8X having gone with all carriers as possible will get more sales than Nokia. The totals will pale in comparison. Lots of people here are...

    Goodbye, Lumia 920: The AT&T Exclusive Superphone Will Probably Flop

    As much as I like the 920 there is no way in heck i'm going to ATT. The 8X is quite nice and will be on Tmo. No such luck with the 920, the 820 looks like it will be there. I'm not going to take Nokia's sloppy seconds. Right now i'm on a Gnex that is working great. I still want to get a new W8...
