Microsoft stays true to its word, will end free Windows 10 upgrades on July 29
Most people don't. If a user is planning on sticking with Windows, then they probably fit into one of these categories:isteelers said:I did the upgrade on a few of our Windows machines and I am not really thrilled with it. I think Windows gets more convoluted with each new version. Anecdotal I know, but there is no way I would pay $119 for A new Windows OS.
1 - Never going to run Windows 10 on the machine they have
2 - They've upgraded their machine for free already
3 - They will buy a machine with Windows pre-loaded in the future
4 - They are using a corporate computer with an enterprise license, for which the company is paying maintenance, and will be upgrading at some point in the future (Windows 10 Enterprise licenses were never a part of the free upgrade promotion to begin with)

Nope. Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Professional, and Windows 10 Enterprise. Don't forget Windows 10 Mobile. Not sure what flavor of Windows 10 runs on a regular Surface (not a Surface "Pro")...tjskywasher said:About time they just offered one version that does everything for $119 instead of multiple versions with a few different features here and there. As for well received, for the Windows users in my household it's been nothing but a bag of hurt. No end of problems, things missing that have been in previous versions of Windows, some functionality has been lost across the OS and bundled apps. My mother wanted to play a DVD, connected an external drive to her laptop and guess what, no software included with Windows 10 to play a DVD! Nightmare.

There will be no Windows 11, supposedly.kent909 said:So the plan is to get Windows 10 on a billion devices. After giving it away for almost a year they are at 300 mi. At $119 I wonder how long it will take to get to the goal. This could really delay Windows 11.

Apple's iPad Pro beating Microsoft Surface in 'detachable' tablet market
I wonder how the numbers compare now. Your article was from February, but the the recent Microsoft earning report from April 21st indicates:apple ][ said:Is this really a surprise to anybody?
The iPad Pro has been outselling the Surface for a while now.
I remember seeing a bunch of articles a few months ago about how the iPad Pro was selling more than the Surface.
Despite not hitting the market until the middle of the last quarter, Apple sold 2 million units of its iPad Pro, exceeding sales of the Microsoft Surface, which came in at 1.6 million units for the quarter, according to IDC estimates. The research group called the iPad Pro the big winner in a declining tablet market which fell 10 percent year over year.Apple's iPad Pro outsold Microsoft's Surface tablet last quarter

Surface-related revenue is up to $1.1 billion this quarter, an increase of 61 percent from the same period last year. Both the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book helped push sales, but as always Microsoft is keeping the exact number of devices a secret.

Microsoft appears to be copying Apple's 2014 Continuity Handoff feature for Windows PCs
I guess AI missed the news about Project Rome three weeks ago.
