Usually, when a device manufacturer “neglects” to reveal unit sales numbers of a specific product or category, merely announcing revenue generated, it means said gadget or gadget family didn’t do so great at the box-office.But Microsoft has always been secretive about the constant growth of its 2-in-1 Surface roster, so it shouldn’t come as a shock to find out the productive Windows tablets actually sold like hotcakes during 2015, even while essentially

Remember when gold mobile devices were the epitome of tackiness, bad taste, and just generally poor decision-making?

Microsoft is not having a ton of luck when it comes to the company’s own hardware lately; as if the issues with the Lumia 950 XL weren’t bad enough – problems so bad they’re driving some retailers to stop sales – we’ve also seen some seriously glitchy operation from the company’s latest Windows 10 devices, with both the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book suffering from all manner of unwanted ...

Photography on mobile devices has gotten significantly better over the last few years, and we do have Microsoft’s Nokia to thank for most of this.

Even though Apple and Microsoft claim that both companies get along just fine, things are a different story when you measure product lineups. While Microsoft has done an amazing job at bringing its apps to iOS, its hardware products are clearly trying to compete with Apple in every way, even if Microsoft is primarily a software company.
