You found me out! Step one was registering this account in the late 90s. Step two was waiting for just the right moment to cash in. As you can see, I like to play the long game...
That's fair. The question was about innovation. Lots of innovative things start out as not quite there yet. I don't think there's much question that MS is beating Apple in terms of innovation lately.
Amazon has really improved the online shopping experience. Sure, that's not the same thing a trying to put people on mars but it has a more tangible effect on more people.
I don't mind them adding the touch bar. It looks like they've nailed the deep integration in a way that Apple is pretty good at doing. What I could not believe is that that was it. I literally sat there after the show was over half expecting them to do the "one more thing" bit to show us why they even bothered with the press conference. Such a minor, gimmicky feature doesn't stretch very well to take up as much time as they talked about it.
This is aimed at the pro artist set who use Wacom Cintiqs. It's only $200 cheaper than a Cintiq which doesn't come with a computer. As you noted it's clearly not aimed at you.
Apple of 2001 made computers. Apple of 2016 makes phones. The fact that they're now making fewer phones just means the phone market is maturing as the computer market matured. The real question can the revolutionize yet another industry? Steve Jobs? Perhaps. He was smarter than me so maybe he could've come up with something.
Not an Apple fan in general but now I feel a bit sad.
How many of those 33% would go and buy the PC through the Microsoft Store? Why wouldn't they just buy it from Lenovo if they don't want to run Windows?
No. I hope you do not. I don't run as admin on my Windows machines either. I run as Standard User so even if something bypasses UAC it can't do much because my account simply doesn't have those rights.
Agree. I have two systems in the Insider program but neither are my main machine. It's actually part of the agreement you click is that you won't be installing it on your main machine.
The problem is that from a business perspective they've not failed. Far from it. They just executed the most successful OS rollout of any OS is history. In only a few months more people were running Win10 than OSX and Linux combined. It overtook XP quickly too which was key. Eventually people will realize that telemetry is built into the fabric of the framework that makes up the machinery of our entire society. Your phone, your credit cards, probably even your car track aspects of your behavior. That's not intended to encourage you to stop complaining. I'm all for complaining about things I don't like but it does seem to be the reality of the situation and I don't think there's much anyone can do about it. Sure, I could start using Linux but all things considered it just doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Why would you want to run a non-touch aware OS on this?
That's fair. The question was about innovation. Lots of innovative things start out as not quite there yet. I don't think there's much question that MS is beating Apple in terms of innovation lately.
You do know that the Big Mac outsells the entire iCrap line, right?
Pretty much the whole Surface line. The Studio is amazing.
Yes, in part, it is Amazon's fault. But only in part. The problem is complex with many parts so it's only natural that the solution will be as well.
But then the executive will have to decide between the yacht and a third home. Think of the staff they'll have to let go! /s
This is an opt-in thing. Don't share with burglars, technology-aware or not.
If my boss asks for a connection I will be looking for a new job asap.

Are you really happy to get rid of millennial? That sounds like a short sighted strategy.
Guy that rich can afford *real* assassins.
You sir have not seen me tweet!

I don't own a high end table saw because I'm not a professional woodworker. Does that make high end table saws crap?

I think this is just Apple mocking the entire patent system.
No. I hope you do not. I don't run as admin on my Windows machines either. I run as Standard User so even if something bypasses UAC it can't do much because my account simply doesn't have those rights.
Lip service isn't support. It's action that matters. Read the platform for your party to see how they really feel about the LGBTQ community.

There's a very visible off switch in the start menu settings for that.
Linux is getting close to Windows Phone in popularity!
