Microsoft today released a new Windows 10 preview for PCs with a few enterprise improvements. This build is from the RS4 branch, which represents the next Windows 10 update the company has yet to announce (but is likely to ship soon). There is no new build from the RS5 branch. Windows 10 is a service, meaning it was built in a very different way from its predecessors so it can be regularly updated with not just fixes, but new features, too. Microsoft has released four major updates so far: November Update, Anniversary Update, Creators Update, and Fall Creators Update. The only major changes in this release are for enterprise users. Enterprises can now run custom actions during a feature update and run post rollback scripts in system context. The former is a new feature the lets enterprises run custom actions/scripts synchronously with setup. Windows 10’s setup will execute custom actions during two update phases controlled by preinstall.cmd (before all the system and device … [Read more...] about Microsoft releases new Windows 10 preview with enterprise setup improvements

Funny: Microsoft is now selling more Android phones than Windows ones
While casually browsing Microsoft's official website to see if there's anything new with the company, we noticed something funny (though also kind of sad): Microsoft's online store is now home to more Android phones than Windows-based ones. Here's what Android smartphones you can currently buy from Microsoft in the US: Samsung Galaxy S8 (seen above), Samsung Galaxy S8+, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the interesting Razer Phone. When it comes to Windows smartphones, only two models remain available: HP Elite x3, and Alcatel Idol 4S (both originally released in late 2016, and now heavily discounted - to $599 and $199, respectively). Of course, we already knew that Windows Mobile was pretty much dead. Back in October, Joe Belfiore, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft’s Operating Systems Group, made it clear that the company would no longer focus on Windows Mobile-related software and hardware. This means third-party manufacturers also have no reason to invest time and … [Read more...] about Funny: Microsoft is now selling more Android phones than Windows ones

Settings (Posts: 2737; Member since: 02 Jul 2014) They're neglecting the fact that Microsoft is primarily a software company. posted on 4 days ago, 00:31 4 2. GreenMan (Posts: 2216; Member since: 09 Nov 2015) In a world where tech giants such as Nokia (of Finland. Not China. So don't troll me.) & Blackberry, the two most dominant cellphone brands in the late 2000s, went down the drain pipe, It shouldn't come out as a surprise that Microsoft, always an underdog in the cellphone market, went down as well. posted on 3 days ago, 13:25 5 13. meanestgenius (Posts: 17846; Member since: 28 May 2014) You’re telling falsehoods again. You cannot buy a “brand new” Windows Phone in the sense that it’s recently released. The last “new” Windows Phone was released two years ago. But if by “brand … [Read more...] about Comments for : Funny: Microsoft is now selling more Android phones than Windows ones
