Fanboy rage?

If you had bothered to think about what you typed, you would realize it was a fanboy comment you made. The masses don't choose Android so they can futz around with developer options or root and mod their device. It was a very ignorant comment on your part, especially when the vast majority of Android users know nothing of adb or dd.

Yes, fanboy rage. It's the only explanation for the lack of reading comprehension here.

If you like to type obscure commands, choose Android, because you won't be doing that on Windows Phone (unless you want to SSH into another machine and type obscure commands... then yes, there are apps for that on Windows Phone).

No, he's not attacking Android saying that you need to type obscure commands. You don't need to. But if you want to, choose Android.

He was attacking android with his little comments. Read it again, all of it including his little salesman comment. You can type obscure commands in any OS. Either way, the fanboyism is coming from him and nobody else.

Are you out of your mind? It's very rare for anyone to have to use the console in Android, even most rooting processes are done with 1 click software these days. Go educate yourself and then come back to this debate when you actually have the slightest clue how Android really works.

You're still not listening. I didn't say you have to use the console on Android. "vcfan" didn't say you have to use the console on Android. You obviously don't. We know that. Stop thinking that's what we're saying. We're not. We know you don't have to use the console on Android.

I said if you want to use the console, it's there. And if you want it, Android is what you need. If you want to be able to access it, don't get Windows Phone. If you don't need it, you can still choose either Android or Windows Phone. "vcfan" was simply saying that if you don't need access to the console (which would exclude Windows Phone), then he recommends Windows Phone.

Is that clearer? This is a simple concept. Heck, it's actually a complement.

Let me translate this to a different context:

If you need the ability to flash custom ROMs, choose Android. Otherwise, I suggest product X.

If you need blue kernel panic screens (and blue kernel panic screens are important to you), choose Windows. If you don't care what color your kernel panic screens are, try product X.

No, he wasn't attacking Android... at least not until the salesmen comment. You're just being way too sensitive. Huge misunderstanding.

I guess everyone who saw his nonsense and commented is oversensitive too.

Well, the original sentence in question was ambiguous. It could be interpreted in multiple ways. You took it as an attack against Android. That wasn't his intention.

Why don't you use the new launcher 8? :D

Because It won't give me live email tiles.

maybe it does, maybe I haven't tried this one. I did try a 8 launcher before. Let me try this one.

Yes it was.

You are right that it was ambiguous, and could be interpreted multiple ways. He confirmed it later that the way I took it was correct (as an attack) with his salesman comment. You would be correct that I (and others) took it the wrong way, had he not shown his true intentions later.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
