These days I’m having a hard time figuring out why multitasking and copy and paste are being called core features, last time i checked core features are actually being used. Countless research has proven that most smartphone owners barley use copy/paste and multitasking, 90% of users only use 10% of feature and the stats for copy/paste, multitasking are even lower.
Recently Windows Phone 7 has been the latest target of the copy/paste crusade, since Microsoft revealed the new operating system at the Mix Conference its been the main issue of whats “wrong” with the OS. Infoworld click-bait master and iPhone fanboy Galen Gruman went so far as to say that WP7 is DOA because of no multitasking and Copy/Paste.
It does not support multitasking except for Microsoft’s own first-party apps, It doesn’t support copy and paste. Here again Apple was a much-criticized laggard, supporting the capability only in summer 2009. Windows Phone 7 is a waste of time and money. It’s a platform that no carrier, device maker, developer, or user should bother with. Microsoft should kill it before it ships and admit that it’s out of the mobile game for good. It is supposed to ship around Christmas 2010, but anyone who gets one will prefer a lump of coal. I really mean that.
The iPhone didn’t need copy/paste to be a success and WP7 is no exception, to me this whole thing is a non-issue. Microsoft isn’t new to the mobile business and they know what there doing. I know that’s hard to swallow with recent events like the KIN debacle but that a whole different story which i explained on another post.
Microsoft is doing all the right moves, why add a feature no one really uses?, and if it’s that much of a big deal Microsoft developers can always add it on a later update. This is a clear case of a select few people who will never buy a WP7 device buts enjoys the attention they get by making a huge deal out of nothing.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
