I've reported bugs to Windows Insider's Feedback Hub, but none have ever been acknowledged or fixed. So I can relate to the recent stories about critical data loss issues reported but never acknowledged.
An issue that affects me daily and would be easy for Microsoft to test: my Bose Bluetooth headphones' computer voice knows how to pronounce all my other devices' names (e.g. "Chris's iPhone"), but it must spell out my Windows machine name letter by letter. Even if I rename my Windows machine to something I know my headphones can pronounce (like "Chris's iPhone"), they spell it out. Perhaps this is a bug in my Bose headphones, but these are very common headphones so I'm surprised no one at Microsoft or Bose has addressed this problem. My hypothesis is that Windows machine names are UCS-2 encoded and the headphones interpret the "extra" bytes as word delimiters.
- p2t2p 8y agoHa! CardDav and CalDav support tickets has been opened since 2014. Nope. I boot my surface (probably I should’ve sold it long time ago) every once in a while to see if it supports my calendar and contacts server yet. Nope. Every single OS does it. But not windows. What is even funnier is that they actually have support for iCloud which is CalDav and CardDav but nope, no custom config for you.
- bpye 8y agoSadly Android doesn't do CalDAV or CardDAV either, at least without a third-party provider.
- cpeterso 8y agoIf neither Windows nor Android, the two most widely-distributed operating systems in the world, do not support CalDAV or CardDAV, then who is using these standards? :) I guess Microsoft and Google want to promote their own calendaring solutions, Outlook/Exchange and Gmail.
