On October 6th, 2015 in New York City, Microsoft held a launch event to announce the latest generation of Windows 10 devices to the world, including the Lumia 950 and 950 XL, Microsoft Band 2, Surface Pro 4 and all new Surface Book laptop.

It was an exciting and amazingly entertaining presentation, thanks in large part by the high energy presenters who took the stage. Full of energy and memorable one liners, it was a great way to usher in a new era of devices for Microsoft.

One of our favorite moments came when Fedora-wearing Bryan Roper (@broper00), while demoing the new Lumia's ability to act like a desktop OS when connected to the display dock, dropped the line "I Can Be Productive Like a Boss Wherever I Am Now!"

To commemorate the launch event and Bryan's awesome one liner and what has been dubbed the Microsoft Fedora (@microsoftfedora), for a limited time you can order Windows Central's Like a Boss t-shirt. Support Windows Central and Microsoft community by spreading the word that Windows 10 Devices are here with this awesome shirt!

I'm down for a Surface pro 4, the gf for a surfacebook at full spec, and I'll be doing the XL winpho, but i kinda wanna wait for some more colours before getting the gf one (since her 1520 is perfectly adequate and performs like a champ)

how do Thunderbolt GPUs work in OS X?

are there even OS X GPU drivers for non-Apple hardware?

ok, so you buy an nvidia GPU that's an identical chipset to one of the official Apple supplied nvidia GPUs, and then you buy a Thunderbolt enclosure capable of powering the GPU (these don't officially exist), and then you set your Mac's firmware to allow unsigned development kexts, and then you edit the plists in the GPU kexts to allow them to work over Thunderbolt and then you under no circumstances hotplug a GPU because that will cause a kernel panic because the GPU drivers don't support hotplug

its basically a seamless experience

disconnecting a GPU from the pci bus without moving over to integrated graphics first is probably a bad idea. also who gives a poo poo about discrete graphics just use the integrated intel whatever you excel jockies

It will be equally interesting to see that prick get spanners thrown at his face again public opinion response to hipster snobbishness despite their own fans calling their machines boat anchors.

it will be interesting to see how "that stock photo girl does"

it will be interesting to see "where is the loving magic in this underpowered overpriced device"

it will be interesting to see "oh poo poo the stylus isn't a failure, ours is just shitteiter than everybody elses"

it's already interesting to see "poo poo, we shouldn't call the factories mordor - that might make us look like utterly disgusting cunts of the highest and unforgivable order"

it's already interesting to see that "this form factor is perfect" has already been so horribly horribly wrong that they are on their 4th SKU literally following everybody else in the market

it's interesting that It's laughably obvious that the car thing is basically "lets copy google"

it's interesting that It's laughably obvious that the watch is more fail than the cube

its fantastically interesting to know that the the M&A/anti trust thing is coming soon
