    Is VR already becoming an after thought?

    I think its going to take time to develop and refine but this iteration of VR will grow, but will take some time before its anywhere near the norm.

    Windows 10 still sucks as a tablet experience

    I like windows 8 both on desktop and tablet (sorry just my personal opinion), I also like windows 10 and to be honest I think the compromise between tablet and desktop is just about right. I've no complaints with windows 10 tablet mode, would it be nice that tablet mode went to a more windows 8...

    Microsoft Android Phone?

    Absolutely, every tech press writer states about Microsoft's lack of presence in the mobile market, MS cannot rely on Android continuing to allow Microsoft apps in the store, by forking a windows android/device they solve both these issues even if its a short term solution. If MS made a device...

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    Completely agree. The MS band was great too, they just needed to make a replaceable strap and for it to charge from the body of the device.

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    I'm still rockin the Lumia 950 why because its actually a nice handset and it takes great pictures, I like the secure non intrusive OS. So I'm patiently waiting for Andromeda and hopefully I wont have to switch (Android is too open and iPhone is too closed). I've love the OS, the camera and...

    Andromeda Device Petition

    I signed too. Will it hurry MS along in getting back into some form of Mobile? I don't think so, but it does show the level of interest and support in the device, I've recently been to the following MS conferences "Future Decoded", "Bing Insiders" and "Dev Insider Tour", "SQL Bits", I have never...

    Microsoft Photos

    Yes, the Phots app is really nice and it would be great to have a further link to Onedrive / 365. The more places Microsoft puts its apps the better the overall experience of windows should be.

    Hey Cortana, why do you exist?

    Yep! I use Cortana Daily, Traffic and News in the morning, calls / destinations while driving (hands free of course), reminders playing music from Groove and spotify. So I don't agree its pointless but I do agree that in 2014 Cortana was great, in fact it had more user features than today...

    Are you a proud Windows user? Tell us why!

    I'm #pcproud as windows 10 is becoming more rounded and productivity based, the work behind the scenes to make the os smarter and lighter is great, in short the innovation that is being implemented is second to none.

    Should Edge spilt from Major releases?

    I use edge all the time without any issues, should they split it to allow faster development? It's tricky edge already powers so much of the os at the moment, I'd like to say yes to speed up the browser development but would this be at the expense of the os,cshell, windows on arm, project...

    Microsoft must acquire Spotify

    In one sense I agree. I miss Groove too, but spotify's business model is dreadful, its just a money pit. I'd prefer MS to start selling music like tv's and movies.

    Andromeda / Surface Phone will come with Android OS

    I don't think Andormeda should be an android device MS is hoping this is going to be part of the future of windows, however if they released a full windows on android and stirp out all the google services then I'd buy that.

    Views about Build 2018!

    From a Developer perspective it was good, it outlined a good roadmap. It promoted platform agnostic development, some great new dev tools announced, design refresh and accessibility to new tools to legacy applications (which tbh is what most dev's work on), accessibility to deep learning...
