My Win10 and Win7 are clean, without any viruses. They have latest drivers and latest updates installed. But they are still unstable.

Once, my laptop ran out of battery, and Win10 wasn't able to boot. I burned installation disk, and tried every tool to repair, but it was impossible. Only available option was data transfer and clean install.

      I swear if this runs Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile

          "Centaurus" is a WCOS device that runs the Andromeda OS experience. It's (from what I hear) powered by an Intel processor, and is very likely a larger take on the Andromeda form-factor. But it is NOT Andromeda. said by Zac Bowden.

                Nicknam, 01 Dec 2018But first, Windows needs to be fixed. It is very unstable... morei never had problems with windows 7 or 10. i think you have bugs because you dont know how to use your pc.

                  Ace, 01 Dec 2018We all know,, Full fledge window is far from windows phone.... moreBut first, Windows needs to be fixed. It is very unstable and it has too many bugs. I have two computers with Win7 and Win10. They have so many bugs, so I decided to use Linux as my primary OS. My next computer will have dual boot Linux + Win10.

                  The last good one was Windows XP. I don't remember having any problems with it.

                    which is now possible after the desktop Windows OS now runs also on ARM.

                            "Surface laptops with AMD chips instead of Intel's"
                            wow!
                            now they just gonna have battery endurance of like 1-2 hour. ;(

                              Lumias(950/XL) would tear the smartphone world up, if they could use features like apps from ios/android - they were able to, but couldn't legally, use a pen - even now I wonder why it was cancelled, think they even came with some hw for that. Their phones were also supposed to run like full sized computer, which was not so right, as it was just "almost like" without apps... though with updates to this year its visible that if microsoft wanted, those old flagships could run full new W10 or at least low performance version with some cloud computing as bonus.
                              Well, all of that was like unfinished products with users as testers, so hopefully this one being prepared and delayed for years should be better.
                              Actually this one will come with pen support, w10 and apps for sure, but now I wonder what did they prepare for camera part, or if it will have some wearable to go with that.

                                AnonD-706668, 01 Dec 2018Why not ? If Blackberry did then Microsoft too...You dumb? Microsoft is a software company that made Windows. Why would they go using android made by Google. Same like Apple that made IOS you think they would use android? Asking Microsoft to use android is like asking Pixel phone to run on IOS.

                                  MS should make nice and partner/ fund a current OS development.
