I seriously hate the silly naming system used by Microsoft. "Windows 10.1 Professional Edition with Media Center with Update 4.2 and bla bla bla", "Windows 10 for phones with Update 3.1.2", "Microsoft Lumia 640 XL", etc. Although I'm not an Apple fan, I have to admit that their naming system is waaay better: iPhone, Mac OS X, iPad, Macbook, iOS, etc.
???? iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, next year probably iPhone 6 Pro whatever. iPad Mini, iPad Air (year dates) Macbook, MacbookAir, Macbook Pro (Year dates) iOS 8.. 8.1.. 8.2 OSX Snow cats, Mountains.. Get real. If we go your route Lumia Surface Windows See?... no f**king difference. Windows 10 is being branded Windows 10 across all devices, there is no Windows 10 for Phones, just a SKU but no actual branding difference.
still no translations for black sails,the walking dead,better call saul no new w10 build there is nothing
Yes... I am with you on that one (started in 90 with windows 3/3.1 then into NT and beyond). The younger generation would be going nuts over the Plug&Pray we went through. I agree with you on the non-desktop percent going up... BUT that is in addition TO their desktop PC that they have at home. Many I bet are still running XP. Handheld items and such break and get replaced much faster and more frequent than desktop's. Hence they are bought more. Being laggard, you missed and answered your own train there bucko... trackpad would be functioning like that in XP or Vista, or 7 or whenever the trackpad drivers/software was actually fixed to do what it does in 10. So it could have been done earlier. Was not high on list to "fix". Main thing many of us have is this AIO attitude of theirs. A desktop should not have the exact same OS on it as a phone, or tablet, or laptop, or whatever. Apple has proven that, iOS is different than OS. Somewhat the same structure, but deep down is still different. Not an AIO. And if MS really thinks that an AIO is the answer because of slow PC sales... then don't use the PC sale numbers... use Intel and AMD processor sales as the true number. I mean I really want MS to tell all of Blizzards 12 million WOW players they can't play the game anymore because they don't have a new tablet powerful enough to run the game because they are focused on the AIO mobile leaning aspect. Tell all these corporations that still have desktops for all their users they have to sit and type long documents on a small tablet because they don't want to support desktops anymore. AND don't give me that MS is not doing just that by taking their "mobile" UI and moving it to the desktop with the whole Win8 funness... hell even Win10 still looks like 8 UI. There is a reason the old UI is still popular. Because it worked. Look at Apple, their OS screen really has not changed in many years. Why, because it worked and that is what people are used to. Take my corp I work for. 80 users still had XP desktops upto end of last year, hell, still have 3 more to update to a Win7 desktop. Most corp's out there are the same, everyone had a desktop/laptop in addition to a tablet/phone/etc. Desktop sales might be lower than mobile stuff, but will always be that way. Many households have 1 desktop and multiple mobile units for each family member. So yes, mobile will look like it's overtaking desktops. Take the processor sales instead of "dell" sales. Many of those 12 million WOW players and the many more million PC gamers (look at Steam sales), build their own or have someone else build a system for them... those DO NOT get counted in the PC sales. Cause some use their old OS mainly, some buy new. But not buy from "dell"/etc. And they will keep that system for a good 2-3 years before updating unlike their phone/tablet they prob also use. As for complacency... no it's more like people don't like major change that disrupts their work flow. If you gradually change things it's much better for all. Do car manufactures majorly change the way the car/truck is? Basic steering wheel, key, blinkers, wipers, gear shift, have not changed in decades. Would you call them complacent? Long rant sorry...
