    A few years in, still believing?

    Microsoft should release a Lumia 1 with Surface-like design. With killer features and specs, but I'm afraid it's going to fail and feed the trolls.

    A few years in, still believing?

    I must admit that WP's progress has been more than disappointing, but it's not like I wasn't expecting it. Yet, I was hoping that WP8 or 8.1 would be more successful. I have almost never thought it would overcome the iPhone, but I was certainly expecting 10-15% market share by now. I am quite...

    I love WP 8.1, but it's hard not to look at other platforms these days.

    You get the Dev. Preview app. Problem solved (I think)

    6snap "failed to connect"

    6Snap users are getting banned for using a third party app. Welcome to the wonderful world of WP.

    Will Live Lock Screen Users slow down my phone?

    Re: Live Lock Screen Users, Come here! It's slow as hell... I tried Live Lockscreen and I uninstalled it. Remember if you uninstall that app you must switch to Bing images on your lock screen and then you reboot the phone. Otherwise you'll still see the "resuming..." Screen when you'll try to...

    I'm from Quebec in Canada. We're French up there, but most of us are bilingual (kind of). I think I'll buy an android device and i'll keep my 920 in case I dont like it. I used to hate Android years ago, because it was buggy and slow. So I'm not really a fan, but my girlfriend has one and it...

    Microsoft is not going"all-in" with WP because they don't want to fail. There's an old saying that MSFT must become more familiar with... It goes like, "if you are afraid of failure you don't deserve to be successful". If I could have a conversation with Nadela I'd probably tell him to give us...

    I love WP 8.1, but it's hard not to look at other platforms these days.

    I'll start this post by saying that I'm not planning on switching away from WP, BUT it's starting to feel like unconditional love. Let me explain myself. I bought this nice Lumia 920 almost three years ago and it was a really good phone. I liked it a lot. To me the fact that I can view...

    Anyone else see Microsoft losing momentum?

    I saw an article about the Antitrust ruling against MS. It said that Microsoft might have never had an antitrust ruling against them in today's market, because it is much more competitive than it use to be. Which I think shows that Microsoft only made a minor mistake in the 90's that was...

    money is obviously not the problem with MS. The problem is how people see Microsoft. They don't think about Microsoft the innovator, but more about Microsoft the undead behemoth(they want it dead).

    Anyone else see Microsoft losing momentum?

    @all, I like w8.1 and the Xbox one, but I'm becoming impatient about WP. Sure, W8.1 is awesome for us, but the fact that Microsoft is already replacing it with Windows 9 makes it the new Vista. Which means that Windows 8 will not be seen as anything more than a failure. I may like the products...

    Anyone else see Microsoft losing momentum?

    Even the most die hard fans of Microsoft among the journalists are getting skeptical about the company's future.

    I'm sure Microsoft can do something about it, but not with Ballmer on board. I don't think Ballmer was made worst by the medias, I think he brought it on himself by making bad decisions after bad decisions. I hope they can make it right with W9, but I might never buy Windows again if it fails too.
