Ask Paul: November 2 (Premium)

Happy Friday. Here's the first Ask Paul for November 2018.
Microsoft Health
jwpear asks:
Has there been any uptake in Microsoft Health and Health Vault from third parties?
No, and I think Microsoft's fall-back plan for making Microsoft Health more of a back-end or B2B-style offering has gone nowhere, just like its plans for consumers. I always thought that these offerings made sense, and that Microsoft was just the trusted partner that healthcare needed. But nothing on this front, no.
Why so many features so fast?
MartinusV2 asks:
Don't you have the feeling that Microsoft is throwing at us everything just to keep us interested in their products? Are they that confident that bringing things half-finished will keep us happy and not try to look on the other side of the fence to see if the grass is greener? I do feel that way with their next promise of .NET Core 3.0 that would solve all the problems with Winform and WPF programs.
I do feel like Microsoft has adopted the good and the bad of what's common in mobile development and applied it to the desktop. Being agile is good in theory. But among the bad is this notion of "ship it then fix it," which is just not good practice.

With Windows, we complain that twice a year is too often for new features. But the truth is, we're getting new features all year long since the apps can all be updated independently of the OS. This is true of Office, too. It's a mess: Every month there's an avalanche of new. This is too much for legacy productivity tools.
Laptop reviews
MartinusV2 also asks:
Second, I saw at the beginning of October that you got your hand on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1. Will you publish a full review of it soon? How does it compare against a Surface Book 2? I know that for you are not a big fan of AMD products, but could you ask HP / Lenovo to send you some Ryzen type laptops to try just to see how it compares against the Intel counterpart?
I'm behind on my laptop reviews because of travel (and more recently from being sick because of travel). But I was just organizing this, and I've been running battery and performance tests on various laptops each night and will be pushing these out quickly, I hope.

Regarding AMD, I'm not against it. Let me see what I can do there.
Next OnePlus?
Shane asks:
I have the oneplus 5t . Should i go for the 6 or 6t?
I don't have a OnePlus 6T for testing yet, but will soon. Based on what I know about these products so far, I'd recommend the OnePlus 6 over the 6. But that could change. Thinking About the OnePlus 6T (Premium) is where I'm at at the moment.
iPhone vs. Android
BigM72 asks:
Given that price increases across the board is Apple's main play to continue growing revenues the next few years. Is now the time for those of us who liked iPhone to strategically choose Android+Windows instead? That over a 10 year cycle, the spend differences will be thousands of dollars? (There are half-decent Android phones like Honor 8X now for $300), only t...
