p sure they just pin it there as a subtle way of saying "please use our app store please remember that we have one" like they did for the 8.1 update

For a modern OS, it would make sense to make every browser tab appear as an "app" even if it's an IE window. Removing a bunch of chome could be nice.

Of course that is probably a real tripadvisor app.

they put the kinect there because that device doesn't have a keyboard, it's only a touch screen, so the thinking by some manager is probably that people will replace their keyboards and mice with kinects and touchscreens

because the exact same sort of people that loudly declare samsung phones the best because they have the most features regardless of how well those features are implemented are making the decisions on the windows team?

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

Shaggar posted:

powershell exists because people wanted a shell for no reason so Microsoft made one.

yeah, how dare cjs want to script and automate their work instead if RDing into each Windows "server" and click around the UI to get anything done

actually, I think I actually agree with Shaggar: they shouldn't have done powershell

they should've left servers to the grownup operating systems

for real it's probably because people complain when they change the icons
