  1. RIP iPhone 6 series. I've still got a few relatives on those, I'll have to upgrade them.
  2. I really don't care what the numbers say, I genuinely tried to use old Edge for some time, but it was a complete dog. Utter garbage. Websites like TweetDeck, Twitch, YouTube and Google Maps ran like trash, and everything else wasn't exactly speedy.
  3. As a note, in Windows 10, both Chrome and New Edge use the Windows Hello API as default, so if you have face scanning or fingerprint, it will use that, otherwise, you can use your password or even your PIN
  4. This is probably something they have to work on, you know how on Windows 10, the only way to watch 4K netflix is in old Edge? I think it's related to that.
  5. I don't even care that it's missing features from old Edge, expecially considering that it ran like I disabled 6 cores on my PC. This new Edge is Certified FantasticTM It's just as fast as Chrome, slightly lighter than Chrome, and I love the look! As an intersting aside, here's all the Google junk that Microsoft stripped or rewrote for Edge courtesy of @h0x0d / Twitter Once this comes bundled with Windows 10, Chrome will be one less thing you have to install!
  6. This contract has as many as 100,000 HoloLens Devices involved. Microsoft would never pull out of this agreement. Also, less than 1% of Microsoft's workforce has signed this letter
  7. Yeah... this is unsurprising to say the least.
  8. I'm fairly certain that this clown has never been accurate on long-term speculation. He thought the switch would crash and burn.
  9. BTW, this is confirmed for release and will be called Surface Go. Reporters were briefed on this device a couple Mondays ago in New York
  10. Mary Jo Foley is one of the most respected and experienced Microsoft reporters around. She has been reporting on Microsoft for as long as Zac Bowden and others have been alive. Her, along with Paul Thurrott and Brad Sams, are among the most trustworthy of Microsoft reporters. I'll take her word, especially since she talks about how the Andromeda bits of Windows 10 have been delayed out of 2018.
  11. I HIGHLY doubt this thing will ever see the light of day https://www.zdnet.com/article/dont-expect-microsofts-andromeda-this-year-or-maybe-ever/
  12. This is going to be a really good competitor to Apple's ARM chips in MacBooks, and hopefully they will have enough oomph to run x86 apps without too much trouble, unlike the 835
  13. "every time windows 10 decides to automatically reset and update my PC" Is he talking about cumulative updates or feature updates (they're only 2x per year)? I need more information. I asked because every time you 'refresh' windows it wipes the Start Menu.
  14. is this Windows Update related or is this related to 'Reset this PC' ?
  15. It's not called the Spring Creators Update, they actually, for some reason, have not publicly disclosed the name of the update. SCU was found on internal documents but they were outdated, it's believed it'll be called 1803 now
  16. There are no pros when compared to a MacBook, Surface, or Even PixelBook
  17. Villanova, because it's the closest to me. Also, Montvale, Millville, Lincroft, Easton, Dover, Dewey Beach, and Clarksboro because they're not that far away.
  18. You are like those idiots with an iPhone 6 who refuse to update past iOS 8 I will pass these requests on to either the Feedback Hub or to Microsoft directly. These are some good ideas.
  19. I have to use every modern version of Windows quite often even though I obviously prefer Windows 10. However, when I have to use Windows 7 on a machine, I absolutely hate it. The old file explorer is so much worse than File Explorer in Windows 8 and 10. Windows has certainly come a long way from an ease of use perspective. Even Windows 10 itself has come a long way from when it first launched. Version 1507 (original RTM) kind of sucked when compared to what we have today. Also, to people making comparisons to Windows 7, you are correct, at the kernel-level base of Windows, they are both very much alike, with Windows 10 having more optimizations and support for different types of computing devices (Xbox, HoloLens, Surface Hub, etc.)
  20. Well Microsoft didn't actually say anything. This was all revealed to Paul Thurrott and Brad Sams from an insider. I got this information by paraphrasing one of Thurrott's premium articles. If a random Consumer was trying to buy a copy of Windows for their PC at a store, they would not need to know their exact specs and purchase a version compatible with their system (That pricing tier is for OEMs only) they would simply buy a copy of Windows 10 Home (in S Mode most likely). After installing this on their PC and realizing that many apps don't work, they would upgrade to Windows 10 home for free.
