    Try using it with multiple screens on a Surface Book and watch it get very confused

    I live in the UK and have private healthcare through my employer. I've used it for a couple of things and it seems pretty viable to me.

    There are so many pieces of software that are Windows only. You really have no idea of how entrenched it is.

    You missed out far left trolls or do you count as a griefer?

  9. Turning off smart punctuation in the keyboard settings fixed it for me.

    I'm not saying it can't happen, it's the dumbass attitude of "you can just use Google Docs" around here that bugs me. It's a big deal switching heavily integrated software and being beholden to Google instead of Microsoft doesn't seem like a particularly great benefit in any case.

    Yes absolutely just like IBM before them

  12. This is a very stupid move on Microsoft's part on Slashdot Asks: Does the World Need a Third Mobile OS? · · Score: 1

    They could've owned the business market with a range of phones that combine the lower price of Android with the security and regular updates of of iOS. It is very easy to develop custom business apps for it and it integrates nicely with Windows based corporate networks. The lack of such things as Facebook is probably a good thing in a business phone but in any case had they pursued this strategy and it had succeeded the apps would have started to appear.

    One day people on Slashdot will remember that it's the corporate market that is the big money spinner for Microsoft and corporate clients can't just dump their infrastructure on a whim.

    President Trumpâ(TM)s support for Brexit is well-documented as well. Doesnâ(TM)t mean heâ(TM)s responsible for it. You think the Remainers wouldnâ(TM)t be shouting âoeRussian plotâ from the rooftops if there was any plausible evidence. Brexit is due to 40 years of lies from journalists and politicians combined with a desire to stick two fingers up at the establishment. Putin may be happy about it but Brexit is a purely British mistake.

    Brexit was due to the Russians? Do me a favour.

    Jesus believed in free healthcare and wasnâ(TM)t a big fan of the wealthy and privileged. Iâ(TM)m sure heâ(TM)d be on board with taking from those people so that everyone would be able to get treatment when they need it including those people (something that you Randroids always forget)
