  <p>You talked about Linux and Microsoft… nice thought! If you ask me my predictions, Windows 10X is just a stop-gap arrangement. They have their eyes on Chrome OS… just waiting for it to mature enough so that it becomes usable. They want to be the run company and the hardware company. They don't want to develop OSs. That is offloaded on Google. Just take other peoples' inventions and host them on the cloud. Microsoft has hit upon a goldmine: be the run company. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">. If you can milk a cow, why eat it?</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Another unrelated thought I had was that for those who are still on Windows Phone in 2020, it is a good time to switch to Android 10… they even have dark mode now, like Windows Phone 7! I switched a month ago to Xperia 1 and am having no nightmares. Just need to tweak it a bit to get rid of all the nonsense and then it is almost as good as Windows Phone. Only (major) downside is that the Microsoft Apps that </span>Joe Belfiore<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> cloned on Android cannot hold a candle to the Windows Phone originals that Terry Myerson built. But you do get Teams which almost works.</span></p>

  <p>I just came up with another fantastic prediction: Microsoft will put android auto on all its cars, since windows iot core is dead, in case you did not notice.</p>

  <p>I browsed here just to find out what ¨nose scrolling¨ was. I guess I´ll have to wait until I watch WW656. That title conjurs up all kinds of weird.</p>
