    At home, I have been using Avast for years. We never had an issue. Since I reïnstalled Win10 over a year ago, I am only running Windows Defender.

    Of course they will state it like this. Patriotic, yes, but also best example of bad journalism.

    HP Elite availability

    Isn't that phone announced with fingerprint reader? This will be supported in Windows 10 Mobile as of Redstone. So releasing it before redstone is officially released wouldn't be smart.

    What has happened to Windows 10m?

    The average non-forum browsing user won't even know how to get W10M on their device!

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    I'd prefer Hololens. The reason why: VR is just a plain old video game that puts you in the middle of it, while the Hololens puts the game right there where you are. With Hololens you can safely walk around, without tumbling over chairs and other stuff that lays around on the floor. So I have...

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    You are looking at it with the eyes of an Apple/Android user. The vision from Microsoft with UWP is the other way around, they do not have a widely spread mobile platform, but they have a big desktop platform userbase (and no, not everything is usable/available as a website ). The point is: a...

    I don't know in what business you are working, but I see them showing up more and more (not only CEO's) It's light (compared with a workhorse like a HP EliteBook) and almost every company I visit ( as an IT consultant) have plug-in desks with a screen, keyboard and mouse these days. I don't...

    Well nobody wanted a 2-1. But recent numbers show the decline of pc and tablets, but surface is growing steadily. If the wheel wasn't invented, nobody needed a car.

    It is because the wrong question is asked. The question should be, "do you plan an app for Windows 10?"

    Creating UWP apps isn't difficult at all. With 1 line of code you can detect on wich device family the app runs and detect the screensize with another line of code. Depended on those results, you can set the position/sizes of the controls on the screen eg horizontally or vertically. Of course...

    1) WP8 apps run without a problem on W10M (only a few do not run 100% problem free). 2) if a developer wants his app to be a UWP app, then he can do so very, very easily with Visual Studion 2015.

    Is windows mobile really dying?

    Innovation is around the corner. I think MS has the advantage that Apple and Google have not. Apple and Goolge are prisoners of their success, meaning that they have little space to manouvre if they want to innovate. MS was not in that position, they had a small userbase (although they surpassed...

    Building a UWP app is quicker in order to be conform other formfactors. Then use the free xamarin tool to build an android package.
