Kinect is officially dead. Aren't you glad you bought an XBone on launch, goy?
http://archive.is/USteM Embed somewhat related.
>Manufacturing of the Kinect has shut down. Originally created for the Xbox 360, Microsoft’s watershed depth camera and voice recognition microphone sold ~35 million units since its debut in 2010, but Microsoft will no longer produce it when retailers sell off their existing stock. The company will continue to support Kinect for customers on Xbox, but ongoing developer tools remain unclear.
>Launched in 2010 with a $500 million marketing campaign, the Kinect painted a room in a discoball of invisible, infrared dots, mapping it in 3D space and allowing unprecedented tracking of the human body. The Kinect seemed perfect for getting gamers off the couch. Why press a button to duck, when you can just duck? It also enabled handy voice commands, when they worked, like “Xbox On” to turn on the Xbox One console.
>As I wrote at the time, “There’s something very special about using Microsoft’s Kinect system, something that separates it from every other combination of software and hardware I’ve ever used. Kinect adapts and accommodates the user. I’m not learning it; it’s learning me . . . I’ve never felt that a computer understood me—a flesh-and-bone human—so well.”
>Tretton then hit on other concerns about the Xbox One, promising that Sony was a gamer’s first company, and announced a lower price for the PS4. Those sentiments echoed through message boards like Reddit, becoming something of a rallying cry to self-ascribed “hardcore gamers.” Years later, the PS4 is reported to have outsold the Xbox One by a factor of 2:1.
>In practice, the Xbox’s target demo cared more about a few extra polygons than some new paradigm in human-computer interaction. So Microsoft decided to invest its talents in other products.
The lead Kinect developer is also apparently a science fiction villain who wants to merge reality with computer data and use it to manipulate what people see.
>“And that’s essentially what Hololens does,” Kipman continues. “Understand everything in human input, best of breed, but also human from the output perspective. Now, I can put photons on the back of your eyes and see holograms. I can [also] make something float. It’s materially different to then pin it to the real world. It means we also understand the environment.”
>And with more help from AI–along with oodles of hardware yet to be dreamed up–Microsoft can continue its quest to fill the 100×100 problem. Object haptics. At its most extreme, this is the Star Trek Holodeck. No longer do we manipulate mere photons. We can manipulate matter.

That companies hire dumb people due to nepotism and it takes someone with talent (usually the guy that built the company up) to unfuck things? IIRC MS has some dumb bitch in charge of their Office division.

MS laid off a lot of competent techs in favor of cheaper pajeets and empty diversity hires. MS wants to compete in the living room gaming and entertaiment space, but they have a lot of "left hand keeps smacking and flailing at the right hand" type of fuckups that keeps happening.

I was just bitching with my coworkers today about how absolutely horrible win10 is for enterprise.
Without registry tweaks, you can't even remove the xbox app. From a computer that's going to be used to manufacture fucking F-35 components. I had to uninstall the preinstalled Candy Crush and Minecraft apps from a machine that was straight out of the factory! Did I mention that it's going to be used to fucking manufacture F-35 parts, among other aircraft?
And the really painful thing is that if it wasn't for this consumerist push, MS would be in a golden age right now. Powershell is godly, the best thing I've used since I last failed horribly at bash. Windows management has never been easier - unless you want a usable interface for your end-users and don't want bloatware on corporate machines. It utterly blows my mind that MS fucked up this badly while doing so well. Rest assured, though - they're monolithic, but so was IBM, and they'll eventually slide into irrelevance the same way that IBM did.
What you should be worried about is the fact that Wangblows will likely be replaced by Android, and Google will have a stranglehold instead of MS. Jewgle and Facehook are big in a way that IBM never was, and I'm genuinely concerned that they might never fall.
And with the new generation being normalized on these fucking botnets, dark times are ahead. I should have listened. We all should have listened.

There is an LTSB version which doesn't come with any of the apps, but you have to request them specifically from Microsoft, unlike the regular version which is heavily advertised and supported everywhere and installed on basically all consumer and business models, so you have to reimage any computers you purchased with the LTSB version if you want to use Win 10 without fucking Candy Crush popping up in your menu. Greedy fuckers. It's making my work a pain in the ass because higher ups want Win 10 for their technician's laptops, so we had to get LTSB licenses and then reimage all the Win 10 laptops we had, and install the various proprietary software we use on each one and reactivate them all one by one again.

Incorrect. LTSB requires the enterprise version. You need to get it through volume licensing, or as as $7/month subscription. You install it from standalone media with your enterprise license, and if you want features from a subsequent major release, you need to reinstall it from media.
It's absurd that this has to be done at all, and even then, I doubt I can convince my org to go for enterprise instead of pro.

Irrelevant. It's a matter of how they use it, and they're not using it with any good intention whatsoever.

Microsoft has some of the best lobbyists. They recently bribed their way back into munich's city government ten years after Munich had ditched Windows for Linux. When that happened Microsoft immediately set up a task-force, opened up offices in Munich and began to "lobby" city officials and administrators day and night to switch back to Windows. Last year they got what they wanted: A corrupt mayor. Now Muchich is in the process of switching back to Windows, Office, etc. which will cost them 20 million euros over the next few years and more than 50 million over the next decade.

7 will very likely be the next XP, I guess we'll see by 2020 since that's when extended support for 7 ends, if MS continues to stick with W10 as a service strategy or not.

Does someone have that post screencap where an anon who worked for MS in Win10 development explains what a trainwreck it is plus the terrible office environment?

Okay, and Child of Eden. I almost forgot about that game. Dance Evolution is still a favorite though, the unique dance moves for every song in the game and amount of effort put into the responsiveness of the controls makes it probably the best Kinect game. Not to mention it does have some challenge to it if you play on Master mode. So it feels like an actual game, and not a casual fest.

>7 will very likely be the next XP
It's going to be even worse. All my MSP friends are still deploying 7 the majority of the time. Clients disliked 8, but they loathe 10. It's annoying from a remote management standpoint, the telemetry manages to sketch even know-it-all SMB CEOs out, and it's an absolute bitch to clean up an image for bulk deployment.
>I guess we'll see by 2020 since that's when extended support for 7 ends, if MS continues to stick with W10 as a service strategy or no
It's going to get really ugly no matter what, but I'm putting my money on MS continuing the W10 trend with a new OS instead of pushing 10, but locking down the OS even more and destroying what's left of the UI, and failing because of it. If I was some fancy-ass Silicon Valley CEO, I'd be hiring some good software and design guys, repackaging linux with a 10/10 UI for dumb people along with WINE support, and then shilling it to sysadmins as a full Windows replacement. Start it now, and you're timed well for the inevitable collapse, because there's no way that Sayonara Nutella isn't going to run that company into the fucking ground.
It's kinda sad to watch actually, because I've been using MS software my entire life. I started with DOS 6.2 on a monochrome Sharp laptop when I was 7, installed Win 3.11 and used Windows ever since. Dad should have given me OS/2 or unix discs, tbh.

The PS2 camera is cheaper for a camera, but it can't do the fancy tracking things that the Kinect can do. I remember visiting the Harry Potter park in Universal Studios, and one of their interactive wand minigames was a skeleton that mirrored your movements using a Kinect hidden in a mailbox prop.

Ballmer was completely irredeemable, but Microsoft is at least preventing lockin to the Windows ecosystem. I think Nutella knows Windows 10 is a disaster, and is making sure most of their developer products like VSCode, TFS, and Azure are compatible with other operating systems as an escape valve/backup plan. I know a lot of plebbitors have been bootlicking lately because of that.
>We'll see, if they do they kinda admit that 10 was not the cats ass they wish it to be. Or they do the unthinkable and admit they fucked up and fix it. Extremely doubtful on that though.
Microsoft will never admit wrongdoing or fallibility with respect to their interface; Windows 10 was essentially them doubling down on rectangles and giant blank spaces as a fundamental UI element. They'll probably extend service to 7 anyway when they realize no one wants to deal with all the other bullshit.

Well considering that a lot of MS numbers starts to look less solid on close inspection they can benefit from a backup plan. Legacy software only goes so far considering Google is definitely nipping at their heels with things like Chromebook and chromeOS +android integration. Google has been moving aggresively in the education and mid level enterprise markets with those.
Even for games, I've seen instances where previously die hard PC wangblows mustard race go meh, I'm just going to get a console for other titles instead of upgrading and tweaking my rig. Chalk this up to different factors but I've definitely seen instances where people just use their PC for minecraft and esports titles, everything else they play it on their choice of console.

I'm a professional application developer, and yeah Indians are everywhere. They act fine enough when you only contract them, but as soon as you hire full time guys that want to get promoted, you have fucked your company. MS is the perfect example. Pajeet would not have been able to take over MS unless MS was already saturated with Pajeets. When they get promoted, they only promote other Indians as much as possible without them being able to get in trouble for it, until eventually the main body of your lead devs and managers are Indian. At that point it doesn't matter and excuses are fabricated to fire all of the non-Indians so they can hire more Indians. Ironically the only people who talk to me about this frankly are other immigrant coworkers – for instance the first guy to talk to me about this was an old Chinese guy who had been with the company for ages. We have a lot of contractors but there hasn't been any Pajeets in significant leadership positions… yet.
I also have a friend who works as a consultant, and he tells me about how ridiculously stupid so many of these executives are. They'll ask for a specific piece of software, and my friend might say "Sure we can make that for X amount of money." To which they will reply with "But we can hire a firm in India to do it for Y amount of money which is half the cost!" "Yes but there is no way we can guarantee the quality of that product and it may cost you more paying us to maintain and fix it than if we just made it to begin with." Every single time they get a shitty program that doesn't even remotely work with unsalvageable code which he must then spend extra hours fixing. At least he gets overtime.

Only in mindshare. The RROD and console being sold at a loss made the 360 unprofitable in the long run, and near the end of the generation it was outsold by the PS3 (earlier, if you don't count all the RROD replacements shipped/bought.
At the risk of outing myself as a newfag, I really would have liked to be on /v/ during the 360 launch. I cannot fucking imagine what it must have been like to go from a console reveal in a goddamn airplane hangar to "put a towel on it so the console heats properly" to "please wait six to eight weeks for us to fix your console."

And you say it can make phone calls AND control other internet devices? If I was a kike, that would be the way I'd become filthy rich - by spying on poorly encrypted comms and making bang off these retards. Holy shit, it's literally current year. How do people manage to be this stupid still? Thanks, I am going back to reality of Urals and staying there for the next century. Fix your shit in the meantime.

Powershell sucks ass. If you think it's good learn bash, it'll blow your mind.
I found out at my work how to essentially turn Windows 10 pro into the LTSB version, and then automate the deployment of it. It's a hell of a lot nicer, and much lighter on resources.

I don't mind if a browser is included even if it's Edge, not because I like it but as a way to get another browser installed.

That honestly sounds not too shabby function wise. If only MS did not get too stupidly greedy. They might have reached their initial number of adoption target if they made Pro edition the same as LTSB.
