I'm hoping Microsoft looked at the same dictionary I own, found the word Lean, proceeded to remove Cortana, telemetry, Microsoft Store Apps, et cetera, while making it available to regular consumers. I'd purchase in a heartbeat. Yes, purchase!

"Fool me once, shame on...shame on... you ..............fool me ......you can't get fooled again." -George W Bush

It could be that Windows XP wallpaper throwing me off, but in my opinion, that looks awful.

Political correctness at its dumbest. I'm a child from the 80s and I used to play "cowboys and Indians" with my friends back in the days, with "real" plastic replica revolvers. I'm now a 36yo family man, and I'm still not a murderer or a violent person. How is a gun emoji supposed to transform people into violent mass killers again? That's some pretty insane SJW bullsh*t right there!

And next we replace the scissors icons with rounded safety scissors.

Karma for the stupid naming system Seriously, I'm perfectly happy with them delaying release because of bugs.

The more important question is why can't Microsoft patch these security bugs within 90 days? Microsoft needs to improve their security quickly and not just give us lip service about it. The 90's and their slow web connections, and slow CPU's, are long gone. Today's OS's need to be secured ASAP. MSFT needs to get the job done. Fixing bugs isn't usually the problem. Fixing bugs without creating more or breaking third party software is.

language evolving has nothing to do with over-sensitive millennial hipsters with hurt feelings.. next they will install safe and hug zones in the game for people who have social interaction issues.

remember back in windows 95 you had "options" to install when you installed windows...... how about we skip all these editions and just list options.... let us pick what we want at install and add/remove it later if we want to..... would be so much easier then 20 editions of the same thing

Help what? Censoring unauthorized thought? I've had them censor my video for graphic violence, when that video was of a teen-rated video game. Those statistics are BS.

Windows Central shows a different image with the window all dark... https://www.windowscentral.com.../fileexplorerdarkmode_0.jpg Source, https://www.windowscentral.com...de-file-explorer-windows-10

I fixed it for you

I want to go back to the 90's. Before all this PC ######.

If it breeds some life back into my Surface 3, I'm all in. you mean 'breathes some life back into your Surface 3' right bro? It's not breeds. It's not going to impregnate your Surface 3. I mean... it might.

Something tells me this won't actually get rid of all the preinstalled crapware - edge, cortana, store, all the crappy UWP phone apps, telemetry, Candy crush bullcrap. Maybe one day they'll pull their heads out and build a proper successor to 7 that isnt stuck in a mobile identity crisis for devices they're no longer selling on a platform they abandoned.

In b4 Satya killed Windows mobile rage comments.

Bruh, it's the internet. If they are old enough to find Neowin on the net, they have found porn.

Controlling speech is the first step to controlling thought. The point of emojis is to get your point across using pictures. The meaning of a phrase changes when a pistol is replaced with a water gun. Next on the list is replacing car emoji with a tricycle and knife emoji with a spoon. Also we need a bearded woman emoji. And a woman with a penis emoji. Am I missing anything?

Completely nuts this PC that we can’t even have a gun emoji anymore anywhere.

I see Youtube thought police harassing conservative users a lot. Removing this much videos isn't a badge to wear with proud. Especially when blatantly racist stuff - against white people, Christians and anyone not conforming to the PC-leftist-UN-crap - gets pampered by general mainstream media and indulged by Youtube. Same goes for Facebook and Twitter. And if you can't see that, you should try the red pill this time if the opportunity presents itself again.

That's because most dark themes look awful in any OS Personal preference though. Enjoy the dark myself and an alt tab to a glaring white isn't welcome. Keep it coming.

So it will be the May update then, in that it may be released at some point.

But... why?

If it breeds some life back into my Surface 3, I'm all in. you mean 'breathes some life back into your Surface 3' right bro? It's not breeds. It's not going to impregnate your Surface 3.

This is a bit silly, Windows 2000 had registry editor, MMC, Internet Explorer, wallpapers etc. and it was about 500 MB in total when installed. There is almost nothing to gain by not including those small classic applications. It is .NET, UWP, WoW64 and all other junk added along the way that takes up all the space along with the user profiles themselves, those are a lot larger in Windows 8 and later because of the Store apps.

Help what? The far left SJW totalitarian regime? If I made a video today that SJWs and feminists are mentally ill and want attention and to cause a commotion for the sake of attention that video will be taken down. Simply because the one making those decision is probably a fat woman identifying her gender as military helicopter with one side of her head shaved and the other dyed in pink or whatever. Simply because YouTube and all popular websites are hosted in California, and you know what happens there (rainbow flags everywhere). I bet if YouTube was hosted and owned by a company in Montana or Wyoming this would never happen. I'm surprised they haven't taken down the videos of songs that aren't published by Vevo. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKhrRGSLH4Y

Damn you Satya for abandoning windows phone! What achievement did I unlock @trojan_market?

That's a LOT of white for a dark theme

April Fools!

This is unbelievable to read. Google has Microsoft requesting extensions regarding vulnerabilities of their own software. Like... since when does Microsoft answer to Google, especially in regards to their own products? Just crazy. I'm all for pushing for better security, but things like this feel more like siblings playing mercy...

Damn, I got this ... 1 min 30 second showers ... BOOOM! In other news "People are wasting water by just turning it on and letting it run to get free premium porn"

Hopefully feature parody with win32 app? All that moaning you’re referring to would probably be dramatically reduced if MS would stop pushing gimped versions on everyone.

It will flop!

I choose to believe that super soaker is filled with acid.

honestly, I can't even get behind this. it's still too violent and threatening. the logo on the side even suggests it's loaded with nacho cheese. i don't feel safe anymore and i really fear for the future of my unborn children.

crossed_swords needs to be replaced with crossed_nerfbats and bomb with glitterbomb

According to Google, accessing the new Gmail interface is as simple as clicking on the “cog” settings button on the right side of the interface and selecting “Try the new Gmail”. If, for any reason, you want to go back to the old interface, you will be able to do so from the same place.

Knowing Microsoft, it wouldn't surprise me if all that's left in this "lean" version are everything we hate about windows 10.

I fixed that for you, Sir.

"Perhaps now, we can finally put Lumia to rest." I did this 2-3 years ago, Steven.

You never learn, do you? It's not the final build until they release it to the public. A broken clock is right twice a day

Consumers are the biggest loser in these bans
