I could not watch it live. I am inferring there was Hololens news?
Beyond the fact that Windows 10 Redstone two will have have some Hololens programming stuff - what real thing for consumers did they talk about with Hololens?
I've seen some journalist wondering if MS is close to bailing on consumers with the exceptions of Xbox and Windows desktop OS. For those that consider Office a consumer product, i'll just say I disagree - I consider it a business tool that just found it's way into the home.

Looks sweet, that screen is just wow -

I've wondered the same thing...this is either a renewed pledge that they are for consumers or a Hail Mary pass...

Before the prices were released, I was already thinking of "selling stuff'" to get the Surface Studio...Ah no...unless my boss gets me one...

So they talked about this on Windows Weekly last night. Apparently the Studio is geared toward (and the event in general was too) to creatives - people who work on these Wacom type devices. Apparently the typical display these people work on costs $1500+ So that means only a $1500 PC (for the bottom end) - OK when considered in that context I suppose this is OK. But I wonder if these guys will really buy an All-in-one? Assuming these guys need computing power, won't they be replacing the PC every 3 years or so? But the monitors probably last more like 6 or even 10. So now you're throwing out the baby with the bath water. But then I have to ask, have we reached a point, even for these guys, that we no longer need faster and faster compute power for these tasks? Generally we don't use end user stations to do things like rendering - we send that off to a rendering farm

The iMac was very popular for this market. So this could easily fit in that niche.

Agreed...I think Microsoft is focusing on niches and businesses with Nadella. I for one am a fan of him, even if I do feel isolated as a consumer...

What makes you feel isolated as a customer?

Just not much that is Microsoft Branded that I can get excited about as a consumer/home user. Was a big fan of Zune, Windows Phone, Kinect, Windows Media Center, ROOMS on Windows Phone, Cortana, and to a lessor extent BING FOOD and DRINK (I entered 100s of entries only to have app closed and taken away from me)...I know technology changes and moves on but they often take away many things I like to use, promote and get excited about on a consumer level. Not complaining so much as I find it hard to get excited about anything offered to consumers as it either just becomes unsupported or never sees the light of day.

@garak0410 ah, as a consumer customer, not as a business customer. I see.

Right...in our business, I am digging them.
