  1. Imagine being deployed running in the middle of battle and ... WAIT... WINDOWS NEEDS TO UPDATE.

  2.  @nottheone1357  Nothing. It has nothing to do other than a silly joke that went past you.

  5. I would love now Satya push those teams onto the Win10 versions of Email, calendar, OneNote, etc because they suck ass and it's ucomfortable to use them.

  7. I once used Chrome. It was ok. But then I tried Firefox, and while it had some interesting stuff, it wasn't convincing enough. Then I tried Opera and man I loved that one for a while. From time to time I tried giving Internet Explorer (and later on to Edge) a chance, but it didn't cut it. Then, Vivaldi came. Oh boy, oh boy. What an amazing Browser... but... there is a problem with a lot of those... they use Chromium. I've been on and off with FF, but I've been convinced since Quantum came out and after Chromium had changes to ad-blockers, I've decided it's FF or nothing (unless unreasonable situation).

  8. Leaving Google's sites aside, Edge works really good. The pdf reader is AMAZING and well... Chrome sucks ass. If you don't want to use FF or Edge, I'd say you use either Opera or Vivaldi. I'm using Edge right now to give it a try and left Vivaldi as back up just in case.

  9. You missed some nuanced key aspects. Nothing of what you said was wrong really, and I partially agree with everything (even I didn't know about the demo of the interactive tiles! That's awesome). For example, having to "learn the place of the button" is a silly remark when it's been years now that both Android and iOS have pushed "gestures" which personally for me are freaking garbage. I understand that other people love it and find it much quicker, comfortable and nice, but I personally don't like it. I like my dedicated buttons for a specific task. So in that sense, having an extra step/button for a specific thing is not a problem for people to learn. And you said "why not open the app?" I 50% agree with this because I am the same in that front. However, there are cases where opening the WHOLE APP is much slower, takes time loading, opens everything, etc. With a widget or interactive tile you can do your task right there. The problem is that as far as I know, is never done "perfectly". So for example WhatsApp widget is (for me) uncomfortable, and sometimes when you reply directly from a widget or a notification bar (on Android), it doesn't get updated that you replied. The notification still there, same for Discord. There IS a use case, is just the implementation of this overall has been bad. And one last thing you overlooked about Live Tiles vs Widgets: Widgets consume a lot of resources. Granted today we have good enough phones that maybe even cheaper phones can use the system no issue. But 10 years ago that was not the case, and that was one of the key features and fresh air that Windows Phone brought. The Lumia 520 was literally the "grandma gift". It had big bright colors, easy to use controls (overall) and the system worked just fine with a cheap phone with low performance chips. It was sort of baked into the system which in comparison to Android at the time, it was "miles ahead" in system resources efficiency. Then you remark about not finding the obscure app you rarely use. I am someone who rarely changes a homescreen once is "perfect" for me and my use. If I need something else, I go to the list/drawer. And that's what I did with WP and that is what I do on Android. The issue of not finding the app still happens to me when I have to look for that rare app on the full list. So I wouldn't PIN THAT (pun intended) as a fault of Live Tiles. The comment about the Live Tiles not updating properly all the time is 100% true. That was one of the things that wasn't great and they should've worked on it much more. I did like using live tiles on Windows 10, sort of. But yes, them not working great was a medium-to-big issue imo that would deter other people, especially coming from something so streamlined as iOS.

  10. The good thing, imo of "rounded" (not necessarily curved) screens is the smooth feel when you swip from the sides.

  11. But it's not that much faster. For me I opened Edge and then Vivaldi and both took around... 2-3 seconds (R5 2600, SSD). But then later on the performance when opening a bunch of tabs and all would plummet.

  12. In English, maybe. But not even then.

  13. Edge never took off because it was always shit compared to others. This doesn't mean it was a bad browser, I gave it countless times the opportunity to become my main daily browser, but sometimes after a week or two, other times after a month I found myself with it lacking on stuff or making things complicated for no reason. And this goes BEYOND the fact that "YouTube was slow". Twitch also didn't work properly for me, on two different spec and different level PCs, usually video playback was bad. The rest was fine. I'm glad they are finally putting it on its own so it can be updated and improved without having to wait for Windows update. But holy fucking shit it doesn't deserve it. It took MSFT 3 years to finally do it, when people have been asking for it 2 years ago. It's dumb. I'll try it maybe, eventually if I ever get my PC back, but to be honest I don't see why I would ditch Vivaldi, specially now that has Sync. Still waiting on the mobile version. Sadly Edge works fine for me on the phone. Edit: If this looks like a salty comment, it's because it is. I've always given Microsoft opportunity, with Live things, Skype, Windows 10, Edge, UWP's, even Windows Phone from 7 to 8.1. All they do goes down and dies. Their lack of vision and ability to produce things kills everything they try because they do it in the dumbest of ways.

  14. They pulled a Sony just difference is that Sony actually has side markets besides phones so theey just don't care and make crap. Nokia should focus. Also making a great mid range phone for South American market will give them a lot of money, like Samsung did with J7 model.

  15. Whether or not is benign they still make great things that are cheaper than the rest, so... Just the delivery of said products make people change their minds and say "wait a minute, I can have 3/4 of a flagship for 1/2+ the price?".
