lol rip xbox

Microsoft is trying to head off speculation that more layoffs maybe in the works at its Xbox division. This comes a day after it was revealed that a page on the Microsoft Studios website removed several internal teams.

Earlier this week, Microsoft confirmed that it will close Lionhead Studios in the UK and Press Play in Denmark. However, the Microsoft Studios site also removed a number of other teams at the same time, including BigPark, Function Studios, Good Science, LXP and SOTA. All of them had either released games for Microsoft's Kinect devices on the Xbox 360 or Xbox One or were rumored to be working on Kinect or HoloLens titles.

Literally waits 4 months until the biggest issues are fixed (?) before the 'review', yes this is highly professional why do you ask

It's dead everywhere except the US but is now losing steam here as well. MS is going to dump a bunch of $199.00 bundles on retailers for the holidays then quietly kill it in January after declaring they accomplished everything they set out to do and they're so proud of everyone.

in addition to the wrong ram and a lovely gpu the xbone has three operating systems and hyper-v to run them. all on anaemic pseudo-pc. what could possibly go wrong

e: actually one of those operating systems is the hyper-v layer in an esx style i guess but still, laffo

lol so our backup guy configured all three DCs to capture disk images at the exact same time every hour. this make dfs sysvol replication "not happy" with them all pausing at the same time at VSS's behest and it corrupted the poo poo out of some group policies. at first I thought we got hacked, but breaking random GPOs is a dumb way to hack someone unless you're just trying to piss them off. went digging through the sec logs because surely modification to sysvol have default audit settings to track object modifications. Nope. Only delete events. Why? gently caress you, thats why. -MS

nintendo. they loved waggle controls so much they sneaked them into super mario maker, where you need to shake some pieces while dragging them to change them to other kinds of pieces.

why make a separate icon for a key and a p-block, it's so much more obvious to take a p-block and shake it
