where's the new hardware
so Windows 10 goes gold in two weeks. but where's the shiny new hardware to ride that marketing wave? is there a new Surface? do Lenovo have some fabulous new device with all the biometric sensors Windows 10 supports? have HP got a new quirky device like the Sprout (if you don't know what it is, do yourself a favour and have a look) ... and the phone market ... crickets. and unlike PC users who know when the rollout starts there's not even any rumours as to when the update to the phone I have (and the Insider build I'm running really isn't prime time, so I assume the phone version of Windows 10 is a going to be a long way behind)
while I hope Windows 10 is a success - on the desktop it's a decent service pack for 8.1 - I worry that despite the rhetoric of their new leadership the OS business is still as clueless and focused on shiny new features vs getting the core rock soild as it ever was
Biting the hand that feeds IT
