Excuse are not justified - they are BS. You are allowed to have your opinion, as I have mine. Nice move on slipping the "children" comment in.
Haha thanks! but in this case of Microsoft they are justified. Here's a food for thought .... Since Gabe is GM of OSG ring wonder how many times hes posted on twitter with a newer build of Windows that no one has
Justified? Only 80% of Insiders work are on bugs, now tell me how their can send feedback about this if Microsoft release a build after 1 months or later. This is a real justified
Only the Microsoft account sign in is online and that only gets displayed if you have a working internet connection.
As a guy that doesn't really want a telephone operating system, I had hoped the slow releases were due to Microsoft finally getting their heads pulled out, seeing their own misguided direction, and trying to correct that navigational problem. But I don't believe they have experienced any such revelation and they will likely continue sniffing their own feces with delight.
Was Gab a racing driver before he joined MS I tried the Windows Phone Server version with Xbox for tablet, but it wasn't compatible with my slippers. So I had to go with Wzor's Desktop version with new Bin icon in the end.
I don't follow twitter, I'm not a child - my turn... IMO the handling of everything since Win 8 by MS has been a complete joke.
Complaining about when builds come out is a complete joke, and i think with a new CEO comes a better development team and its showing. switch to linux if your unsatisfied with MS.
Excuses can never be justified, its Reasons that can. Agreed. So, going from, One Dev that (claimed) to know what their customers wanted, better than the customers themselves did. To bold claims about builds and transparency that aren't being fulfilled, but are followed by a range of excuses. Is that the best way for a new CEO to start. I don't think anyone here is 'unsatisfied' with Windows its MS's lack of transparency that's causing the trouble. If a build is coming, then say so. If its being delayed, then say so...
It's 2015, you should expect that excuses are a way of saying its delayed, not to mention they are also working on other projects as well, so the fact that there is little transparency is because they are trying to listen to almost over a million feedback submissions with a team of like 20 people on 3 platforms. Anyways the next build looks amazing and is worth the wait.
I have been dealing with MS since windows 3.1, had TechNet/MSDN subscriptions, so I am not unsatisfied with MS. I am unsatisfied with the way they handled Win 8 and beyond, pretty sure I am not the only one. The "switch to Linux" is the typical childish remark from someone unable to come up with an intelligent response. Deal with it kid.
Please - the "kid" part applies to those that insist on an unchanging Windows (or worse - a rollback to 7). Windows 7 - for all the focus on the desktop, was primarily focussed on the desktop FORMFACTOR - which made up exactly how much of the Windows 7 user base? Folks have been using more than desktop-formfactor PCs since NT - not just 9x. If anything, the number of non-desktop computers (as a percentage of the user base) has been growing - not shrinking. That has resulted in Windows becoming a feature laggard - and not just on portable PCs, including, if not especially, traditional laptops and notebooks. If anything, the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9841, followed by 9926) drove THAT tidbit home to me when I installed it (as only OS) on just such a legacy notebook. It wasn't touch - legacy notebooks don't support such things; instead, it was the included trackpad. Trackpads (and the immediate descendant, the touchpad) are commonplace - how many laptops and notebooks lack them? Yet what do I see attached to both laptops and notebooks alike? Mice - lots and LOTS of external mice. And what is THE reason given for the presence of all those mice? Poor driver support for trackpad and touchpad alike. Yet along comes the Windows 10 Technical Preview - which actually gets trackpad support right. An external mouse was supposed to be obviated by trackpads built in - yet no such thing happened. Who gets the blame - trackpad ODMs (Synaptics being the biggest ODM)? Microsoft (who not only made Windows, but is also the largest OEM of mice on the planet)? Us? (That's right; we, by and large, didn't complain about trackpad/touchpad lack of support as loudly as we have been whinging about icons in the Technical Previews.) With proper trackpad (or touchpad) support in the OS, why would you need an external mouse for a notebook (or laptop, for that matter)? External mice take up additional space - they also cost extra; trackpads and touchpads are built-in - and are therefore included in the cost of the laptop or notebook in question. Space IS at a premium when computing on the move - in fact, it's becoming a premium in the office "cube"; why do you think that the WORKSTATION-grade AIO is becoming a trend? Windows (even 10) is STILL a hardware-support laggard; fortunately, it's not as large a laggard as even 8.1 was - let alone 7. Microsoft, historically, is not a complacent company - it is those that are, by and large INSISTING on complacency that worry me far more than Microsoft.
