Other? []unknown I overheard a customer at the local B&N asking for a book on Windows Phone. The employee nor the customer knew what the name of it is. Customer: "Windows 10 phone? Windows 7 phone? WinPhone?" Employee: squints at books, scratches head.Nice marketing, Microsoft. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:newton.saber wrote:

Windows Phone is the Term, Win 10 is the operating system
So can I buy a phone that runs Win10 right now? I'm not sure. Okay, I just googled and it looks like you can. Never knew.

My carrier probably won't release the upgrade to 10 for another year. (going by the timeline for the upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1) I suppose you'd want a book that pertains to the version you currently own. I would suspect most new Windows phones are shipping with 10 by now.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

MS is stupid - they don't know how to make product better, so they start game with names. They already had "Windows mobile" - why the hell we again listen "windows" and "mobile"?? F*** that "windows" - I don't wanna hear it anymore! Name it "pear", "bear", or "pedobear", but I wanna distinct name that it's mobile OS with this exact version!

you want Apple's Mac naming: OSX+ Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan? wait so is a Lion better then a Leopard, but a Leopard is better then Tiger? And, what the hell is a Yosemite? I'm guessing its something that feeds on Lions? Oh you switched to places, okay. Wait El Capitan, now we are pirates?

Appropriately Named and ABBREVIATED: WINCE Amazingly, it was accurate. I WINCEd every time I had to work with it. Every time I found out that my method was NOT available on that platform. Every time I ran into some other strange limitation. All I did was WINCE :-) Literally!

It's not that simple. Actually, the OS used to be called Windows Phone X, as in X=7,8,8.1. Today, the unit is actually called a Windows Phone, but the operating system has switched names to Windows 10 Mobile (brings back memories doesn't it). There's also Windows 10 Mobile IoT and Windows 10 Mobile Embedded. Basically, Windows 10 Mobile is anything which uses the ARM platform, against Windows 10 "Desktop" which uses the x64/x86 platform.

Amazon has a difficult in serving me my hot coffee while I am reading books. B&N is better at this. :) Soon, the Amazon Drones will solve that though and you'll be right. :laugh:

}Hah... you don't believe to Santa, but believe to ONE OS everywhere?? Dude, time to grow up! Hardware is SO different and we have so different tasks on 'em that declaring one OS is obvious stupidity. One poor guy already tried to be "everywhere" - his corpse with tag "Java" on the foot still remembers us don't sit with one a_s_s on two chairs. Smartphone requires separate, compact OS with only libraries which make sense + mobile only stuff (like gyroscope, Wi-Fi, 3G, Battery, etc) + very "mobile specific" UI. Desktop is different and has no limits. Nadella thinks if phone and desktop have Button, that's it! One universal button fits all :) In reality his ugly _mobile_ buttons are horrible on desktop and nobody will enjoy using it. End of story and end of MS.
