@SoCalDetailer @Pomme2Poule @TailosiveTech Same here. I've been using an iPad Air 2 ever since its release in 2014, and it's still running the latest iPadOS like new.

@StarRims @JenMsft @Windows That's a nice minimal setup! What are the specs of your PC?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@abacjourn @thebookisclosed @TheRichWoods Has anyone actually tried doing it yet?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@Windows Windows.

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@Windows notepad.exe

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@JenMsft Hundreds. Definitely hundreds.

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@WindowsDocs Iast used Windows 95 a couple weeks ago (on a real IBM machine)

@zeealeid This could be taken further by saving the states of virtual desktops into app groups, and these groups can be restored at any time to its own virtual desktop.

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@PinakiLaskar Maybe a Rickroll?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@Windows What about PowerShell?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@unixterminal I feel like this cult needs a theme song… any suggestions?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@NaveedHematmal @Windows One must admit, installable PWAs (or any site for that matter) is TRULY a killer feature.

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@ow Are you going to make a write-up on this like with Surface Pro X?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@surface A day later it's announced that Surface is coming to South Africa, at long last!

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@surface I suppose I'm just an admirer until I actually manage to buy a Surface in my native South Africa (sadly it's not available here).

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@surface I've always been the local "bloody agent" (insert GIF here) of Microsoft!

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@zeealeid Well, of course. My C++ skills are worse than half-baked, so I'm busy relearning it in this lockdown. I'm not going to be making such a project any time soon, but I suppose other members of the community could step in to do so!

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@zeealeid Forget just liking this Tweet. Seriously now, this idea could lead to something big, and Microsoft may finally take up your designs if they saw it in action as a working app, not just a drawing. What do you say?

[Shalin Pather @0x5350]

@zeealeid E.g. The Hyper-V manager is just that, a manager, so we make an open source manager with your design, then it connects to the VM, and from there on it's up to the Actual Hyper-V to decide. Also, Microsoft may finally adopt your designs if they saw an actual proof of concept.
