OF, it would be interesting to know how many have upgraded since the "sneak" upgrade about a month ago Are we anywhere near a fifty per cent uptake? A time counter has just appeared on the Get Win 10 page.

Microsoft has gone public with a statement that it will take 2-3 additional years to hit their 1 billion mark that was already supposed to have happened at this point in time.

You figure it out, good 'ol MS has to say where they sit right now -- and they aren't saying anything right now other than "several more years" to hit the billion mark.

Roll Eyes

I would just say that PC total market share pie continues to shrink at around 5% per year and that there has been no "overall market growth" of any kind associated with Win 10 AT ALL so far.  

Well, the number and type of OS displayed "totally gotcha trapped" type ads that you have to wait for them to finish loading has gone up by a factor of 6-10, but that isn't any form of market share growth, just MS user abuse growth.

MS is changing Skype again ---- and MS is dropping Skype support for all of their old OS products including Win 8.1 and Win 7.

Skype used to be peer to peer, now it will be only supported over the web through MS's server network.    Can you say "Win 10" only three times fast?

Skype functionality has crept into many MS products, now all those products will be tied in firmly to MS's cloud hardware to make it work at all.

A yearly Skype fee exists now, and will get more prevalent as the vice jaws tighten up further .....

Putting your money where your mouth is ......





While the team is hoping to raise $50,000 for the project, there are a series of stretch goals: the first few aren’t super-exciting: an extra USB port and an additional color option (black or silver). Update: That didn’t take long. The Superbook passed the $50,000 goal just a few minutes after the campaign launched.

You’ll need a device with Android 5.0 or later, at least 1.5 GB of RAM, a dual-core processor, and at lest 25MB of free storage space to use the Superbook.


Google now has a remarkably viable, self-funding pilot fish out in front of their Android PC phone efforts seeing EXACTLY what people like and don't like about the idea.  

By going and doing it, which is the very best & quietest way to find out what you need to know without putting your company and your overall customer image at risk --- are you listening, MS?

I think Google does it smart, paying out some small money to test the ideas with a seed company and seeing what the little pilot fish discovers that really needs to be included into Android before the idea goes mainstream.  

Note how this implementation plays off the existing motif of plugging up your phone to the USB port of the laptop to catch you a bumper charge -- looks very normal to most of us, doesn't it?

And as Jide has already done with bigger desktop screens the new Andromium is presently testing out the waters more directly on the various Phone PC ideas.

Next month Google releases the very first part of their 2-3 step release process on the PC Phone idea, a brand new multi-windows switching and a defined accessible file system comes out as part of the new Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.

Vendors are busy putting out Jide Android Laptop machines complete now over in the orient, and now we got the phone stuff birthing their own pilot fish program using crowdfunding, so it will only happen if it is considered DESIRABLE to enough people.

Call ready Phablets already exist at sizes up to 9 inches, but folks seem to show a preference for having both a phone and a laptop/tablet.

I'd go for a Phablet, but the services I use don't really offer them
well, At@t does offer a galaxy tablet with a phone app, but it's pretty pricey

http://www.pcworld.com/article/3098570/chromebooks/chromebook-shipments-are-e...

Chromebook shipments are exploding, but not replacing Windows PCs
Chromebook shipments will grow by 18 percent this year, and by double digits until 2019, Gartner says



If this sounds like double talk to you, then you got to realize that Chromebook volumes are still small compared to the 290 million units that move around in the standard PC realm every year.

So yeah, Chromebooks can grow by 18% and not affect the entire market very much.   It is still growing by 18%, while PC is still shrinking by 5% --- the confusing issue here as always is that both statistics are compared back to themselves rather than to the entire marketplace.

Doing it referring back to the entire marketplace in both cases, Chromebooks grew by 0.7% and PC shrank by 5%.

Wink

Another way to say it is that 15% of the people faced with the Win 10 Decision decided to jump ship on MS completely and buy themselves a Chromebook.

I don't consider anything under 10" a tablet.... those 7" little jobbies are for kids, or young folks with good eyesight Smiley

I have become preferable to 10" tablets because they are still very portable and hardly get in the way.
Yeah you can't stick one in your back pants pocket or shirt pocket, but folks who carry around large smart phones don't either, they have clips mounted to their belts.
Personally I would wear a small pouch, satchel, or "man purse" and not be bothered, as long as i'm wearing my Bluetooth, i'd never have to pull it out of my bag.
Really getting tired of win 10 and posting on sites with more than one advertisement and want to switch to an android based software for ease and use while doing the internet thing.
Google chrome is failing me now... it has also started to constantly load ads and keep me to posting one letter every three to four seconds while posting. I type fairly fast, as do most of us who internet daily, and have to wait about 30 seconds for a decent sentence to load before going on to the next one.

Google Chrome and Firefox both have an add in called Adblock Plus which is a must have add on.  

Stops all the addshite that is going on right now, in the Linux world it does, anyway.

It may not stop Win 10 from starting up all those ads that are internal to the OS that are stopping you dead cold while they load up.
