I am a bit of a Microsoft FanBoy. Tend to adopt their software quite early, adopt their hardware quite early. Normally within a fairly short period of it coming out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More recently I have been fortunate enough to use their Windows 8 phone, their Surface and their Xbox One.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With each there has been major issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Windows Phone 8 has a terrible bug which means whenever to connect a Bluetooth media device the music auto plays. Been a problem since their last major firmware update.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Surface has had the worst software update I have ever known arrive in December which basically turned it into an EXTREMELT expensive photo frame.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Xbox One Kinect stopped working within days of first use.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Searching the web for “Lumia Bluetooth Auto play”, or “surface pro 2 December update”, or “Xbox one Kinect not plugged in” shows just how high volume of people with these issues is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
None of these problems have been fixed by Microsoft. The Bluetooth issue has been outstanding for nearly a year. The Surface issue for about a month. The Xbox Kinect issue, about two months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
God only knows who is doing their QA at the moment, but whoever it needs to sort it out. It’s not good.<\/p>\n
