when have they ever done that?

Good for you.
We hate bad journalism

Congratulations
You’re the first person to ever make this comment.

Being a democracy does not give you the right to tell someone they shouldn’t be allowed to make money for something they created. That’s actually pretty much communism

Patents are patents and you can complain about them all you want but they are part of the legal system and Microsoft (or any other company) has a right to make money from their IPs. Microsoft took the high road and offered a reasonable licensing deal that most OEMs went along with to avoid the Apple approach of just sue sue sue. Moto decided to be petty because they’re Google’s puppet and now they’re paying the price.

Whatever shortcomings they had on the hardware (which I would argue are nonexistent), they were left with an ecosystem that not only matches iTunes in available content, but is seamlessly integrated across 3 screens as well and the best UI design Microsoft has every come up with so in the grand scheme of things it was a necessary gamble to take and I would hardly say it truly failed.
I just hope Woodstock doesn’t throw it all away. The Xbox-produced music app in W8 dosn’t exactly give me a lot of confidence in that regad though.

Tell us how you really feel

They said from the beginning
NO THIRD PARTY DESKTOP APPS IN RT
How hard is that for people to comprehend? Or does the verge (and it’s readers) just look for reasons to bash them?
Oh wait, of course you do
They’re even meeting them in the middle by letting them build Metro Firefox using Win32 APIs
The desktop is only there because they didn’t have time to fully move Office to Metro
and yes, the caps were necessary because maybe you might read it

“lololol it looks like a macbook”
Enough
You weren’t funny when the first Envy came out in 2009

Pretty much my only gripes are rotation lock and wifi turning off when the screen is locked. I know for the latter it’s a battery life thing but when I’m on a public network that requires a login for every reconnect it can get pretty irritating.

At first I was confused and irritated
Then I realized what was happening and am in a good mood now

Go away

LG is next to completely irrelevent. The last good LG phone I used was my enV2 from 3 years ago.
They made exactly 3 windows phones, all of which were awful, and are now blaming Microsoft for them not selling and are now going to exclusively make awful Androids.
The Verge uses this as an opportunity to prodict the downfall of Microsoft again.

If he spent half the time he did at the bottom of the ocean learning to write likeable characters and engaging plots maybe he wouldn’t have lost an oscar to his ex wife.

I use Avid at school and I like it the best but it doesn’t run that well on my home machine so I use Premiere. I haven’t gotten a chance to try Avid 6 yet but I’ve heard it’s fixed a lot of the hardware compatibility issues that it’s had in the past

So it looks like Intel tablets are going to be able to match ARM on form and battery which means the big difference maker will be price. I don’t know how much more classic app compatibility is worth, plus RT will have Office built in so let’s just say it’s going to be an interesting road ahead.

Well going on a rant about the OS in a device review in order to drive the rating down when he didn’t even touch on device specific software is incredibly poor journalism

because that’s good journalism

No, he just unprofessionally insulted his readers for disagreeing with him
