it's important to carefully position your library when you're taking screenshots of your music app so that it shows sleater-kinney or belle and sebastian or chvrches, and not your countless kylie minogue or britney spears albums

univbee posted:their intention was for computers with windows 10 on them to be available in time for back-to-school sales in august, meaning they would probably have to hit rtm in late june/early july at the latest for some reason i still periodically get tech recruiter emails from a resume i posted somewhere in 2006. the latest one was actually something i could have done pretty well if i was still in texas and gave a gently caress. a business is migrating their couple thousand or so computers from winXP to windows 7.

quote:The feature that Microsoft does hope will win people over to Project Spartan is the Cortana integration. Type certain things into the address bar and Spartan will show you structured, meaningful information. Select text on a page and you can similarly "Ask Cortana," and you'll see a structured response. At the moment, this is quite a bit more limited than it is on Windows Phone. Although Cortana on the Phone—and Bing, which powers everything—understands, for example, flight numbers, Spartan doesn't. No doubt more features will be plumbed in as the browser is developed, as will be more languages and countries: currently, Cortana only works in the US, using English. WHY? lol why is the spartan cortana not the same service as the phone cortana? two browsers, two stores, two cortanas, a focused company

quote:As an odd quirk of development, Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 10 still has the slight edge in terms of Web standards compatibility. While the capability will be removed in due course, Internet Explorer can still use Edge. Moreover, Internet Explorer allows various experimental features to be turned on through its "about :config" page. While a similar experimental opt-in capability is coming to Spartan, it's not there yet. The old legacy browser is more "standards compliant" then the new cutting edge standards compliant browser. Amazing

carry on then posted:they could release september 19th and still be in summer by one day rtm has to be at least a couple of months ahead of the street date so manufacturers have time to load up their images with bloatware and make sure their junk laptops and whatnot are in stores on the release date.

microsoft would be in such a better position if they stopped cementing release dates in advance of the actual product completion. that's what hosed up windows 8, it's what hosed up the master chef collection, it's what's going to gently caress up windows 10,

makes sense. the serious business computing company has already hosed up ui design, qa, and backward compatibility, might as well yolo the ship dates and go to valve time as well while we're at it.
