i was responding to the emoji keyboard thing, i didn't read the cortana bit, although after having done so it's completely unsurprising given the way cortana works and i have no loving idea why they would have ever allowed that to be interactive with the console locked

IF YOU SEE ME TALKING ABOUT BEANIE BABIES, PLEASE TELL ME TO

it doesn't happen though? like not even remotely similar

the lock screen emoji thing is almost certainly triggering the on-screen keyboard accessibility feature and switching to the emoji board which is treated as an alternate keyboard layout/input language or something

It's not an alternative keyboard, it's simply an emoji panel. It's a feature that was introduced with 1803.

Time and time again, I was told that Microsoft should ship 1809 when it is ready, and I do agree.

lmao at switching to a date-based version number and not even releasing according to that schedule

so the real version nubmer should be 1811 or 1812 or 1901?

Microsoft bought Obsidian and inXile.

I expect Microsoft to close both studios after whichever one releases first fails in the marketplace.

that shouldn't take long since they will inevitably only sell their games via the windows marketplace, which is the kiss of death

not sure why they would buy up obsidian since they are usually just a subcontractor. usually game companies are gobbled up for their original ip

Microsoft probably wants a fallout/skyrim ip of their own.
