Candy Crush Saga will be automatically installed for customers that upgrade to or download Windows 10 during the launch! All the fun of buying a PC from Dell or HP, now even if you install a clean copy of Windows

can someone tell me what the point of having windows 10 on the xbox one is, because i haven't quite figured it out i mean, does microsoft want you to run office on it? do they want to use up more of the already pathetically low amount of RAM and power so that games continue to fail to hit 1080p, or do they plan to use kinect and hololens together and force consumers to buy two products they don't want again? your potential, our passion

this explains how they got King to port release their literal iOS app on Windows. "please we'll install it on every windows machine... just drag and drop the .xcodeproject into this app please what more can we give you" of course they probably also have them millions

though what's funny about this is now there's nothing stopping them from including similar "great deals!!!" in the future why not also bundle in other games and apps? how about we include ask toolbar with our office installations? there's no slowing this descent down the poop chute now

i was at an ms user conference this week. not entirely involuntary but i probably didn't protest hard enough either. an ms director of product marketing earnestly asked the audience to bing something without a shred of irony or self-awareness. later he asked us all to pull out our windows phones so he could show us how to do something as if it were a joke everybody was totally in on, and they were. so much for that platform babies havin rabies fucked around with this message at 04:36 on May 15, 2015 |
