firefoxx04 Can we get a petition going to push Microsoft to fix actual issues and turn off all this phone home bsReply -
giorov On a Lumia 950 and I have to say it's pretty good considering everyone is hating and saying it's dead.. I mean it's a work in progress, but I'm surprised by some of the functionality. It's amazing how consistent the mobile experience is with the x86 pc version. It really feels like it can only get better from here with regular updates. Now I just wonder why Groove is better on my phone than on the desktop haha. Maybe once Micorsoft figures it's own software out then it can fully focus on getting more developers onboard..Reply -
back_by_demand ReplySigh. No sign of fixes for the very broken mobile hotspot functionality...
Seems to work fine for me on my 950 -

I cast my 950 to my TV last night and it gave the continuum desktop, then ran Groove music and it looks pretty good.
