It’s not fake news, it’s an analysis.

I have to say, I love my Surface Pro 3, but I sincerely doubt I'll buy another Surface. I envisioned MS being a player in consumer when I bought it but I think that ship has left port. I purchased a lot of movies through MS so I could watch on my Surface when traveling. But I bet MS will kill off the movies and TV like they did Groove.

I have the same feeling regarding this tweet:

It’s not fake news, it’s an analysis.

An analysis that comes to a baseless conclusion, based on baseless claims, that Microsoft is going to terminate a product line isn't much of an analysis. I throw around the term "fake news" because it's fun to say now. But this is essentially garbage journalism.

Your opinion which you are entitled to. You also don’t have to read it.
MS has done nothing to prevent people from predicting these types of events. I think you’re placing the blame on the wrong people.

Microsoft doesn't control the keyboard of Bogdad Popa. It's our prerogative as responsible consumers to acknowledge and reject bad journalism when we see it. This is bad journalism.

Look, we’re all human and biased towards our own opinions. If you had agreed with the piece, you’d be praising them. Instead you responded emotionally and called out the author. Whatever, I could care less. I may even agree with you.
Enjoy your day. I have work to do.

Whoops, you're right! I forget how well you know me. Of course, I was being entirely subjective and i'm driven solely by emotion. How silly of me to assume that there's an objective basis for good journalism. My bad!

Enjoy your day of hard work!

Ok... What another person going claim that Microsoft drops Windows 10 all together and goes back with Windows 7 style? That be the day... Im just tired of negative topics on WC. How about rename the site to DoomCentral.com no offense I look on like mspoweruser at least there not bashing all the time like the news on here. Very disappointing on how WC it wasn't like this a year ago.

Lets remember the good times, like the Surface event two years ago. That was a great day!!!

Well what is there to talk about in the Windows consumer world? Certainly mobile is bye bye, I don't see anything on the consumer side that is positive.

A company discontinuing their failing products is hardly news.

Windows 10, Xbox, and Office, are all doing quite well as far as I can tell. No doubt that most people are familiar with these products.

At the same time, have you ever heard of a lot of people using Groove? W10 mobile?


You know what else is doing really well? iPhones and Android. The customers are already there, MS would be dumb to ignore that. THAT is what Belfiore's tweet above meant. Apple and Google are literally handing these customers to MS by letting them release their software.

You can't possibly be surprised by Microsoft's recent decisions and announcements, they were all predictable and logical.


As for W10 mobile specifically, it's really quite simple from my point of view.
Why would MS make a whole new and separate OS for mobile, when they already have an extremely popular, extremely versatile OS?
The only reason that smartphones ever existed, is because PCs couldn't fit in your pocket.
