Curious if you stuck to this claim, or if you have purchased any new Microsoft products?

I've been watching to buy the i9-13900k for a while now. Was disappointed that it didn't drop in price on Prime Day. Patience won out as it is now only $409 down from $569 on Amazon. Picked mine up this morning.

I feel the same way. Lee_Bo points out that Future PLC is just a parasite. My experience backs that up. I used to check in with all the centrals almost daily. Today was my first time back in weeks. The news feed is terrible terrible terrible design. No comments takes all the fun out of it. It's...

So I just finished watching the new Netflix movie Red Notice. I was a little sleepy until I noticed Ryan Reynolds pull out a Surface Neo as part of his gear. It makes two appearances. Here's hoping that means it's not a dead device yet. I really really want one!

I used Cortana daily on my Lumia 640XL. Setting reminders, sending texts, and calendar updates. I've tried on android but it just doesn't work nearly as fluidly. Often when I ask her to set a reminder, she goes to the web. :angry: I haven't tried Google assistant yet as I am trying to stay as...

I hear you on the wider screen. I had a 640xl that I just loved. I switched to a oneplus5t a few months ago. Now when I go back to my Lumia, it just feels bulky. The extra width seems harder to hold in comparison. I like the way the slimmer phone holds in my hand and it nearly disappears in my...

If it runs full windows 10, then it can have Chrome installed. That means it will have access to Android apps. No need to build an Android/windows device. That could hold people over until PWA's finally land.

I learned computing on an Apple. My elementary school and the Jr. High had Apple computers. Seeing as windows was the dominant system past that i learned Microsoft. Now i wouldn't know what to do with an Apple computer.

fatclue_98 You are correct. My declaration that no device existed is false. My intent was that wide market adoption of such a device among average consumers did not occur before the iphone. Therefore when the iphone was released targeting the average consumer market, they had no competition in...

For the PC you are correct. This scenario worked for Microsoft in PC's because people didn't have home computers or anything like them. So you were introduced to them at work, saw the potential at home, so you bought one for home. Simple. The application of this logic to Microsoft's next device...

Yes, we are swimming in the old way Windows effects our lives. The new Windows is still being used by the vast majority of users the way they always have. Meaning, the average user doesn't use the Microsoft store, even when they know it exists. In my office, not one single person but me has...

Lastly, this talk of enterprise focus over consumer really needs to stop! The enterprise is consumers! When the enterprise goes on a lunch break, they are consumers! When the enterprise goes home for the day they are consumers! No one wants to carry around two devices that do the same thing! I...

Here's a scenario for you. Try to convince any Android user to convert from their Samsung to a Oneplus, or from an LG to a Huawei. That is in itself a pretty difficult battle for people to even change from one device to another device with the SAME operating system. Now imagine the difficulty...

It seems to me that Microsoft keeps running away from the crowd and then yells back to them, "OVER HERE! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!!" Rather than running to the crowd and discovering what they want, then giving it to them. Add that they have burned so many people who just don't care anymore, they...

I agree. I have been running my 640XL for 2-1/2 years now. I haven't jumped yet because I just can't stand android or IPhone playing with them in the store. They both have some issues that make it hard to jump. I still get at least a day with the battery. Now if they could just fix the constant...
