I don’t know why people claim they skipped 9. Clearly they version in octal.
P.S. It’s not a mistake, it’s a put down.
If we can use a smartphone as a PC then we don’t need a PC anymore, do we?
Windows 10 news for Ping list?
He uses the word ‘Awesome’ pretty loosely.
Make everything obsolete so everyone can start buying software all over again. In the meanwhile, Microsoft are making mega backs and the consumer gets poorer.
Office as a platform sounds potentially interesting. Also potentially highly annoying. That’s about as close to awesome as I see on the list.
As a consumer, I wan them to do well so we have more competition against the behemoths Apple and Google. When Microsoft was the 600 pound gorilla, I wanted Apple and Google to weaken it.
I bet there is a huge market out there for one device with between a 5-7” screen that is powerful pad, computer, has multiple USB devices, can be used as a phone, yet can be plugged into a bigger screen, and guess what, you can tell time on it. I love Apple products, but I am not amused in the way the purposely force you to buy a million gadgets instead of just one or two:
You want a light computer? Here’s the MacBook Air with a huge price tab. Oh, you also like a nice screen? Sorry, you’ll have to also buy the MacBook. You really like apps but you like them on a bigger screen? You’ll have to also buy the iPad. Oh, I see: you want to be able to save stuff from the internet. Sorry, the iPad doesn’t have a USB port. You’ll have to buy a computer for that. You want superportability? here’s the Apple Watch. Oh, by the way, you will need a new iPhone to make it work well.
They are acting almost as bad as Microsoft in its heyday (almost as bad. Microsoft was the worst).
This will, of course, require new Windows Phone devices.
Of course.
I guess I’m a PC Luddite - I was perfectly happy using XP. I still like to play some old games that won’t run under Win 7 - fortunately I found a website that sells them altered to do so. Win 7 is fine other than that, stable and not too annoying once you disable the fancy graphic effects - so I see no need to go to 10 (though if it’s free as rumored I guess I will). However the new features listed here are mostly of little use to me, just more memory hogging.
