Touché
I was thinking more along the lines of IE/Edge. It's always slow to catch up.

I'm actually more concerned about Safari. That seems to have adopted IE6's old position of failing to implement many Web standards (notably relating to Touch/Mouse) preferring to stay with whatever Apple have implemented.

Here’s a first look at the most highly anticipated slide deck in Silicon Valley. This year’s report includes 355 slides and tons of information, including a new section on healthcare that Meeker didn’t present live. Spoiler alert: there will be an internet in 2017
"Companies are increasingly worried about getting locked in with cloud vendors and not being able to switch to new providers." Huh.

Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

These are the key internet trends for 2017 (SPOILER ALERT - they are no different to those of last year, the year before that, the year before that ...)
TECHNOLOGY: Messy is getting messier.
COMMERCE: Invasive advertising is becoming even more invasive.
CONTENT: Dumb is somehow managing to become even dumber.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Widespread hate-mongering has become more hateful and more widespread.
SECURITY: Even more of your bases is belonging to Russia.
IOT: Evermore pointless devices are becoming attached to the internet just in case the Russians need some extra help.

Quote: While internet growth is slowing globally, that’s not the case in India, the fastest growing large economy. The number of internet users in India grew more than 28 percent in 2016. That’s only 27 percent online penetration, which means there’s lots of room for internet usership to grow.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The fault for today’s failure with Windows Mobile can ultimately be laid at the feet of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, who failed to nurture their mobile OS when it needed it the most. That article's title could be ended at so many spots and still be accurate

Still amazes me that in 2006, Microsoft owned 99% of the handheld space, yet did next to nothing with CE 6 for five years. Trying to deal with them was a nightmare.
Ironically, Windows 10 IoT core is pretty damn cool.

It was the IE6 story all over again. They gobbled the entire market, declared victory, disbanded the development team, and then the leadership sat around with their thumbs up their *ahem* until the competition caught up and ate them for lunch.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft today announced the launch of Draft, a new open-source tool that helps developers streamline the processes of developing container-based applications that are meant to run on Kubernetes clusters. Draft? Because someone left the Windows open?

Draft?
Because voluntary compliance didn't fly.

Draft because people don't wanted bottled apps.

Smartphones are already computers in our pockets, but Intel’s new Compute Card turns an actual PC into something you can take with you wherever you go. Does it come with a PCMCIA slot?

Sort of cool, but an rPi or similar is a LOT cheaper, and pretty much the same bang for the buck, IMO.
