i think the plan is more actual programs start showing up on the win store. like u could take steam and pack it for the store or something.

I have a thing for courageous dongles

is Shared PC Configuration roaming profiles 2.0? gating bitlocker is a bad idea and they shouldn't be doing it. maybe restrict certain features/settings in it but MS should be driving customers to other lovely solutions that will probably render all their data lost when it fucks up

I'm sure valve is stumbling over themselves to give microsoft 30% of their revenue in exchange for getting to appear in the store with 2 dozen fake shovelware/ebook listings for each of their games

are there a lot of home users who are desperate for fde on their primary drive, and won't just upgrade to pro? bitlocker to go still functions for external drives on home, you just can't do fixed disks

sometimes when i use edge the scrolling fucks up such that scroll rate slows down until it becomes impossible to scroll at all, even by dragging the scrollbar directly.

on my new work laptop if I use touchpad scrolling it randomly leaves the little up/down icon on the screen with no way to get rid of it except for killing the synaptics driver process

I use a mouse now

bets part about the dell xps 13/15 is the trackpads have native windows gesture support. none of that synaptics middleware bullshit.

it's like using the trackpad on an mbp, but on a better os

i had a work dell that had a touchpad that would randomly stop working, then 10 or so minutes later completely lock up the entire computer.

it's good, but i had to disable pinch-to-zoom on mine because it was way too sensitive and would always zoom when i wanted to scroll.

still better than every other pc trackpad by a mile though.

having someone else move a mouse while you just sit next them saying "left... left... okay a little up... now right just a bit... CLICK THERE" is better than every pc trackpad

e: i converted a bunch of my chrome extensions to edge but apparently its impossible to publish anything on ms store unless you're a bespoke twitter superstar developer or w/e with special permission from ms. seems very rational considering the rest of their store is a postapoc garbage dump.
