where did my post go?

I just wrote a lengthy post about how Windows Cloud is about Surface 4 and the potential to upgrade it to a full Windows on ARM and not about a cheaper version of the Surface Pro, but it’s gone. This sucks.

    <p>Obviously it’s either user error or a glitch. It isn’t a conspiracy against you. Try doing it again and see how it goes and report back if it fails.</p>

    <p>Hm. I will try to find it, but I will likely have to ask for help. Checking…</p>
    <p>(I don’t believe it was deleted purposefully if that helps.)</p>

    <p>No I think a glitch from the system too, wasnt implying it was on purpuse. Just wanted to vent my frustration!</p>
    <p>Thanks for looking into it guys.</p>
    <p>Anyhow the condensed version of it is: besides affordability and flexibility,&nbsp;Windows Cloud&nbsp;in tandem with Full Windows on ARM is all about perception management and focus/optimisation. Not many people that buy a tablet will need to run win32 apps on it for their media consumption and light production usage. But for those that do, there’s the option now.</p>
    <p>This has a few advantages:</p>
    <p>1. lower the price point of Surface type devices (cheap arm chips + cheap cloud OS)</p>
    <p>2. people that buy an ARM device with full windows on ARM will be fully aware of the performance hit emulation will cause (yes I know they say it’s fast – but let’s be real, it can’t be <em>that </em>fast)</p>
    <p>3. as not many people will opt for the full&nbsp;Win on ARM&nbsp;version (my guess) developers will still be better off developing a UWP app</p>
    <p>4. people can always upgrade if they feel they need a certain win32 app, I think Paul covered this as "not being in a dead corner"</p>
    <p>Win32 on ARM seems more like a publicity play to me then that there’s actual use for such a device/platform support. People needing to run win32 are far better of with&nbsp;a Surface Pro type device. Unless that snapdragon 835 comes close to Apple’s A10 chip, but single threaded performance is nowhere near that league yet as far as I know.</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>Redstone 3 will be all about Surface 4 w/Snapdragon 835 + windows cloud + windows on ARM</p>

      <p>Whenever I make a lengthy post, I write it in a word editor.&nbsp; Then copy and paste it into the forum.&nbsp; As a member of many forums, I can’t tell you how often "glitches" occur.&nbsp; Some forums will time you out.&nbsp; Others limit size.&nbsp; Some are just contrary.&nbsp; By writing in a separate program, you will always have your original post until it is actually posted.</p>

    <p>Looks like one of my comments to the "Why UWP failed in Business" post disappeared, too. I posted a&nbsp;reply to a comment this morning. Another commenter&nbsp;posted a reply to the same comment after I did. That reply is still there, mine is gone.&nbsp;Earlier, both replies were visible.</p>
