    Note7 owner, 04 Apr 2017Even on my PC I use chrome to browse the web. Who the heck uses Internet explorer? Edge is way better than any other browser in Windows 10. I was a fan of chrome but stopped using it after I experienced Edge.

Well, Chrome on PC is absolute sh*t, it hogs all of the RAM available, runs multiple processes for just 1 tab open, Opera is vastly superior and it got Chrome add-ons compability, I liked IE 10 and 11 because they were very fast and did not crash plugins all the time like Chrome does, but I never used it a lot due to lack of add-ons.

        Anonymous, 04 Apr 2017Haha *knew* it. Called that 5 years ago and people said "never going to hapoen". I mean are y... moreI can't play GTA V or Dishonored 2 on Android (Streaming don't count) most games on PC are heavy like 50GB and growing, high resolution textures 4K and uncompress audio i doubt you can place those files in paltry smartphone storage, also software like CAD and regular Adobe only works full potential on PC's.

        Android is just fine and great, but it's very unlikely will displace the PC platform, which is the place if you want more power and full features, but i agree that Windows will lose many users for those wanting light use like web browsing.

Not saying it wont get better in the future, but its no where NEAR as good or reliable as a pc. You need to stop playing so much pokemon go and learn a bit about the million and one things a junk android phone still can't do.

              I mean are you kidding me? PCs go the way of the dodo. Only weird neerds would own one in 10 years from now and would only exist in nostalgia memes "member when we had giant boxes for computers?" "Oh, I member, I member"

                                  Those "Unknown" OSes must be Tizen. But Microsoft seems to have never considered emerging markets as markets. Look at the results now. But rest assured: those of you having blogs and websites won't have to rush to make it mobile-friendly, except if your audience is aimed at Asians and Africans.
