They really want to get as many users as possible up to date (and using their app store by the sounds of it).
This could be massive in helping to reduce the number of older browsers in circulation and accelerate adoption of modern web practices.
thats not what that page saysOnly in china
My mistake. I don't read it clearly.thats not what that page says
By giving away Windows 10 for free, at least for the first year, Microsoft is deviating from its regular sales model for the first time. The software maker announced earlier today that Windows 10 will be launching this summer in 190 countries, with the vendor focusing its attention on China.
Windows 10 going monitor less
now the metro UI makes perfect sense
Windows Vista & 7 is better than 10.I've noticed a trend.
- Windows XP: Good
- Windows Vista: Bad
- Windows 7: Good
- Windows 8: Bad
Windows 9 would be good, which would make Windows 10 bad.
Windows Vista & 7 is better than 10.
I have upgraded 7 to 10, 3 month ago. I didn't know what happened to my desktop again death of bluescreen.
I am tired to safe mode it's back now, i enter downgraded to windows 7 from windows.old it's back right, i won't upgrade. Because crap and many bugs..
I would have expected this kind of post from a normal person on a non technical forum but to see it here it amazes me.
Again the touch integration is making more sense.. the vision that these guys had since Win 8 is slowly becoming realty.. Exciting times for windows fan boys like me
Why do you think Apple still doesnt have the confidence to release a full touch mac?
I doubt that Microsoft created touchscreen technology at the time for windows 8 primarily for this device. They took a chance on something that was gimmicky and (IMO) screwed up how touchscreen worked on the OS which didn't pay off. I very much doubt either that they visioned their touch technology for the surface studio since at the time their vision was on the border of being "let's bankrupt Microsoft"..
I'm sure it's not lack of confidence, but more they can't squeeze out enough profit vs cost, they love profit vs cost that is how Apple work.
Yes, they needed to atleast put USB-C like Apple but I am expecting them to go thunderbolt port way because of Windows OEM releasing similar devices this year. This port lets you connect powered external peripherals like a GPU to your computer and its also crazy fast compared to USB 3.0 and you can also daisy chain external hardwaresWhat do you think, Could the specs have been better?
Microsoft demoed something similar well before Windows 8. They were waiting for hardware to catch up. Actually people cuss Steve balmer a lot, he did make a fool of himself on stage god I hate him for that but some of the tech you see today started way back in his tenure. It takes a lot of time to pull off something like this.
The machine learning which you see on hololens dates back to the 90's someone I know from redmond told me the first teams for AI were formed in 98 i dont know if its true but the I know for a fact it is very time consuming and its not like the rest of R&D in Computer world. This is more like pure sciene R&D talking awful lot of time.
I am not sure either, they went for touchbar in macbook pros, so they clearly see touch is important or they will be left behind but struggling. May be they are just afraid to take a risk like MS did with Windows 8 and release a touch enabled MACS with bugs in it. MACS whole reputation is built around being bug less UX.
Even the touchbar is not real MacOS its just the apple watch OS integrated into MacOS.

I think the processor, gpu and ram is sufficient for photoshop and illustrator work at 4K but I am not sure what the CAD, Maya or Unity Game devs think. Some think they should have put better GPU in it like the 10 series and not 9 series.
Anyway 4K is a lot of money to invest in so I would naturally wait for next generation, you can see how surface pros are so much better than surface RT. These things take time and I dont have lot of money so if I buy something it should last me atleast 3- 4 years. So my decision is to wait for version 2 until they add thunderbolt ports. So you can add external GPU which is something like this
It will extend the life of the Studio to a few more years. Apparently Tokyo 2020 will be broadcast in 8K so that gives you an idea how long 4K will last. Besides if hololens makes it we can move that in 5 years time
