At the end of the day it's balls in the back of the net that count. I'm pleased for everyone, so let's see if this translates into sales. It's a hybrid mix of things to get to success; and all about execution. http://datagenetics.com/blog/september52015/index.html

I wrote this down as an essay. I thought it easier to post a link rather than regurgitate the same text. I'm sorry if I offended.

It's all there, just different. PowerShell = bash, Chocolatey = homebrew, Windows Server Containers = docker, Hyper-V+powershell = vagrant, DSC = ansible etc etc. I don't use Windows 10 for reference though. Still on 8.1 until they fix a few things and release a version-matched server platform.
> PowerShell = bash While a great fan of PowerShell in theory , in practice it seems to be extremely cumbersome. Sort of the opposite of bash and other Unix shells, which suck in theory and are very useful/convenient/powerful in practice.

But then you loose the USB port. But the main problem of USB adapters is that they don't like being unplugged and plugged back which happens quite frequently with a laptop. With a real port connectivity is pretty much instantaneous. I used USB adapters for a while on a MacBook pro and came to the conclusion that I will never ever buy a laptop without ethernet ports. What I wonder is why they don't come up with a mini…
> What I wonder is why they don't come up with a mini-ethernet port format? Ethernet ports aren't exactly high tech. Regular ethernet is so ubiqutious that you'd end up needing adaptors anyway. At that stage, you may as well use a USB-whatever to Ethernet adaptor.

https://www.microsoft.com/surface/assets/.. . is resolving to 2600:1409:a:18c::2768, which is owned by Akamai. But your point still stands: even Microsoft doesn't trust Azure's CDN offering.
Isn't the Azure CDN offering through Akamai?
Specifically, I'd love any names of Linux applications that people use with the pressure-sensitive pen/touchscreen/multitouch.
-or- anyone out there that dualboots Windows and Linux on a touchscreen just for the Windows touch features? How usable is this?
I'd be very appreciative of anyone who has any comments/suggestions, as this is something that's bothered me for quite some time.

And for those of us early adopters with the Surface Pro 3, I can upgrade my pen and use the new charging doc. Well done. Feels thoughtful, not something I can say about my Asus Windows tablet experience.
Oh wow, you can use the new pen with the SP3? Interesting.

I think that complaining about "too much choice" is disingenuous. One of the things I don't like about the Apple eco-system is that there is hardly any choice. Choosing between a tablet and a laptop is not really making a choice. It must be hell for you to by a car...
I'm a fan of Mazda. Your analogy would make more sense if instead of Mazda offering a choice of compact (Mazda 3), sedan (Mazda 6), or sports car (Mazda Miata), instead Mazda decided to build a lineup of: * Mazda6L (Our most green Mazda 6) * Mazda6 Yoga (Our Mazda 6 that transforms into a Miata) * Mazda6W (Our power version) * Mazda6T (Our version which includes more gizmos) * Mazda6X (Our version which includes even…
Whereas take BMW, which seems to have a really simple product line but has endless subtle variations in the same segment. 5 series Sedan vs 4 Gran Coupé vs 3 Grand Turismo, anyone? Then try to comprehend the endless options for each model. Then try to comprehend the relative cost of one model versus another (or one trim versus another) factoring in the inclusion or exclusion of particular features. It's insane.

Dell XPS 13/15 has been out for about a year.
How is your experience with it?
I use an 2012-ish 17" Asus gaming monstrosity. It's not easy on the eyes, but it works for me and can run Batman Arkham games at 50+ fps.

XMonad, or any other tiling WM, would be lovely for tablet mode too, but probably requires some work.
I know someone who uses a TWM on a tablet, and it works fairly albeit as clunkily as you might expect.
