  <p>Just give it up. Edge is just as good as Chrome. Stop complaining about not being able to run Chrome on Windows S.</p><p>10S is good for most people. Don't listen to this old geezer. You may not like it, but you do not represent everyone. </p>

The Windows 10 S mode, case in case, now its a mode.</p><p><br></p><p>If MS wanted to really do something with Windows 10 S, it should have been free until it got critical mass, both of users and apps. Meanwhile push the upgrade. A temporary freemium model if you will.</p><p><br></p><p>It has chosen instead to deploy it in high end laptops and offer a free upgrade to pro … Now that's courage … lololol.</p><p><br></p><p>PS: I'm tired of people that don't use Windows 10 S stating that its good for most people. I think its because it gives them a sense of status or something. If it was good for most people, most people would be using it, believe me.</p>

  <p>I don't understand whats all the fuss about the Always Connected PC. I had an Always Connected Tablet, an iPad, it was nice. Than I moved to an Occasionally Connected Tablet, I guess that is the term. Don't don't miss the first one. So I guess that people will find Occasionally Connected PCs just fine an save whatever the difference in price.</p><p><br></p><p>As long a connection can be very easily established, which was not not the case of Windows 10 when I used it by the way, there is little difference. </p>

  <p>You start the show stating that no one uses Windows S. Then you spend the next 45 or more minutes discussing a "dead on inception" product. </p><p><br></p><p>Seriously? Is nothing else happening at Redmond? </p>
