    Why Continuum failed?

    Fact is, Microsoft has always treated mobile like a red headed step child. Until that attitude changes don't expect them to ever succeed in mobile especially with a CEO that shows thru his ACTIONS he doesn't get mobile. Period.

    Possible retrenchment from MS

    "...possible retrenchment..." ?? Where have you been? Microsoft has been in a defensive posture and retrenching since the antitrust loss. And to make matters worse they made a politically correct engineer with a narrow vision their CEO. Talk about a massive miscalculation. When the sorry...

    Microsoft To-Do is fantastic

    I looked at it and it's ok but not feature rich enough for me as I've been using Clever To-Do for over 4 years now and it has all the features I need. :orly:

    Consumer Reports' Surface reliability controversy

    And I'll add my own experience too boot. I purchased a Surface 3 through AT&T for the LTE support. Big mistake. Just leaving it on my desk and not touching it. When I would turn it on -- without fail -- it doesn't recognize that the keyboard is attached and is in tablet mode. So you have to take...

    Consumer Reports' Surface reliability controversy

    Is this a "big deal"? No, but this site is trying to make it one, with Windows dwindling mindshare and rapidly disappearing mobile presence. Looks desperate. Just stop.

    Is it worth going for another Windows Phone or is it dead?

    Re: Is it worth going for another Windows Phone or its dead? The OP makes a good point about the disappearing apps in the Windows Store. At this point with all of Microsofts missteps and with Nadella telegraphing to the shareholders and investors his focus on AI and cloud I wonder how stable...

    Are you going to shell out $500 (or more) for Xbox One X?

    As a Xbox 360 owner since 2006 I've been waiting for the "right console and timing" to upgrade and with my purchase last Christmas of a Samsung 70 inch 4K set I am now ready for my new Xbox One X. And FWIW, I don't think 500 bucks is "too much" for the powerful, streamlined 4K-ready hardware the...

    Microsoft Reportedly Testing New Phone With New Windows Mobile OS

    All you can do is laugh. Microsoft always with the head fake. "iPhone will never catch on...", "Mobile first...", ect, ect, ect... Truly, I don't think even the top of the food chain at Microsoft even knows what they want to do. All they know is their mindshare keeps falling while Googles and...

    Is lack of apps the real WP problem?

    Unfortunately, like a lot of Microsoft products they will pull the plug on WM because of their own incompetence and nothing else.

    Which Windows Phones have you owned?

    As far as wireless web data service I started with the HP Pocket PC and bought the modem jacket for it from EarthLink in 1999 just to experience web surfing wirelessly. I used feature phones from 1995-2001 (always Nokia : ). Then in 2002 when the first Pocket PC Phone Edition debuted on T-Mobile...

    Is W10P entering a pure features battle and losing its distinct design identity?

    This is like Windows 8 redeux. Think about it they are forcing a UI down everyone's throat across every size screen which will end up making nobody happy. And I've actually been a strong customer for MS for years simply for the fact I don't trust Google and can't stand Apple. Looks like in a...

    AT&T L1520 Denim Update ETA?

    It's now February with no sign of Denim for the AT&T L1520. So much for ones saying it would be released in January.
