      AnonD-347284, 18 Feb 2015android OS is much better ,windows OS cant even come close.This sandboxed lagfactory named Android that does need desktop computer hardware to work sucks donkey balls. I have never used Windows before but I am 100% positive it's better than Android crap. Because there CAN'T be OS worse than Android. 4 years old Symbian was WAY better than nowadays Android. But hipsters want eyecandy...

          This was released so that people may tell Microsoft what they want and that is a great thing.

                  Jason Melling, 17 Feb 2015It's still Windows, and you can not even get a decent clock... moreOnly painful thing I have experienced for 2 last years is Android OS. Lag, fragmentation, and overall one of stupidest opsystems on market. My next phone will be Windows or Tizen or Sailfish. I am done with Android. It's for hipsters.

                    Cloud computing is dangerous for business as you have not control over your data. Software by subscription also is a backwards step as you dont own the software. For these reasons we did not buy the MS Surface pro, or will upgrade to Office 365. Insufficent security is a turn off in todays world

                            It's still Windows, and you can not even get a decent clock widget for the home screen. I recently spent some time with a Lumia 1520 and the phone itself was great but the Windows OS was just extremely unpolished, very boring and ultimately just painful. If you like to play around with customisation then stay away from Windows, it is years behind in that area.

                                In 6 months we'll be witneses to first fully integrated cross-platform digital functional environement. Microsoft show us again his power to buid-up a reliable bussines model for at least 10 years from now on. I noticed one interesting thing about stock market. Apple market value become equally with sum of Microsoft and Google market values together. This thing suggest me that investors, today, are not able to understand the big step forward in IT industry which Microsoft is doing right now. In my opinion the right place to invest now, on long term, is Microsoft not Apple or Google! I'm afraid, and this because concurrence is good for customers, no other IT giant can compete with Microsoft in the next 5 years! Which unified platform can compete with Microsoft plaform? The only one is Ubuntu but Ubuntu Foundation is strong enough for Microsoft bussines? Mobile IOS together with OS X represents an integrated environement? But Android and Ubuntu?

                                    Still as ugly as ever.. sad because Windows 8.1 / 10 look great but they're not able to make it look great on phones. Some things look ok but most things are quite ugly such as immense gray buttons, etc..
