well the sticker was pretty cheezburger goofy poo poo, so this makes sense. the regression is accelerating so Zombie Box Defender 2015 and The Terrible Secret of Spaces for Windows 365 will be legitimate, depressing products in the not too distant future

oh the problem of skype not stopping its ringing on winphone if you answer the call on any of those 'other' skypes still hasn't been fully resolved apparently

i had skype and skype for desktop intalled on my laptop and got a call. answered it in the "desktop" app and the metro one kept on ringing.

you have to understand microsoft "cloud" services.

here's no real cohesive cloud, it's a million siloed services with ten million interoperability hacks applied one by one as needed, it's a direct representation of microsoft as a corporate entity

and that's why nothing actually works

microsoft is terry gillingham's brazil

the entire organization is driven by the equivalent of a fly jammed typewriter, they're the ultimate bureaucracy and windows 10 is archibald buttle

except instead of being black bagged it's going to production come hell or high water

then microsoft started out with one cancer but ballmer introduced a second one to ensure that the first one could never be treated

in evidence of this, i offer paul allen's cancer
