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

yes, it's to allow you to use office on the xbox and scream entire 10 pages documents to your kinect

because middle managers are talking to middle managers at other companies to use windows in the data centre and checkbox enterprise software purchasing means you get docker on windows

at one point it pushed safari for windows (it would show up and you'd have to specifically deselect it for it to not install) which had various security issues like one allowing an attacker to auto-download files to the user's desktop, which apple brushed off as not a serious security flaw

like the single thing I really like about numbers is that it's easy to make something that looks visually appealing since you can easily create little spreadsheets on each page of a workbook and have some white space and poo poo going on

formulas suck though

keynote is good if making powerpoint presentations is a skill you willfully (rightly) avoid. i used it for a presentation and it was good and fast enough while not looking janky and templaty

also file syncing made it easy to tweak and review away from my desk but idk if that really helps much

microsoft reaffirms commitment to windows 7

quote:

Terry Myerson, Microsoft's executive vice president of operating systems, has clarified the company's plans were not changing for non-genuine users: "Microsoft and our OEM partners know that many consumers are unwitting victims of piracy, and with Windows 10, we would like all of our customers to move forward with us together. While our free offer to upgrade to Windows 10 will not apply to Non-Genuine Windows devices, and as we've always done, we will continue to offer Windows 10 to customers running devices in a Non-Genuine state."

terry then donned his hololens and went back in time to kill the terry that said just the opposite of this a month ago, thereby clarifying the paradox he created

"While our free offer to upgrade to Windows 10 will not apply to Non-Genuine Windows devices, and as we've always done, we will continue to offer Windows 10 to customers running devices in a Non-Genuine state.""

does this mean pirates will have to pay for Windows 10, whereas legit users get it for free?
