By the way, Windows has made the decision to give the platform software away for all devices with a 10” or less screen.
but would it work on a bigger screen?
It’s probably configured to support a 10” or smaller screen only, so transferring to your 14” or 17” laptop wouldn’t work. Also it might be keyed to work only on the unit matching a unique identifier.

MSFT is not my specialty as an investor. I am a biotech investor with macro interests outside BT.
That said, if MSFT is crumbling, this is good for QQQ.
But the question arises, is MSFT crumbling or simply shifting paradigms?
Satya Nadella is moving MSFT from one era to the next (Ballmer was a temporary overseer who brought nothing earthshaking).
Whatever MSFT was in the past is gone...it's over.
MSFT is now in a new period, with new management and new vision.
Investors must not live in the past.
Keep an eye on Nadella...he is going to reinvent MSFT.
This is the end of an era for MSFT and for many in the computing industry.
Apparently the Cloud is going to change the world of computing. This is what Nadella is betting on.
In his short tenure, Nadella has already transformed MSFT...and this is just beginning.
I don't begin to offer my vision as correct...I am merely a watcher at this point (much too old to understand anything but the big picture).
But I suggest that investors might want to keep their eyes on the forest...but still study the trees.
This is one of those times in the history of business that is known as a pivot or paradigm shift.
It is in times like this that great fortunes are made and lost.
I would love to have that phone. I didn’t know it was just AT&T. I am currently with Verizon and have the Lumina 822. It is good, but I would like a bigger screen (old eyes) and a higher resolution camera for panoramic pictures.
That is cool! That might be a game changer.
Must be true if a blog says so. Meanwhile their stock still pays nicely.
