[dba-Tech] Another OS but different

[Dan Waters]

Shamil,

If you bought your 950 before the end of January, you may be able to get a free dock if you request it by the end of February.  MS says limited quantities.  Good Luck!

Dan

 Hi Jim --

Yes, it looks interesting.

BTW, Microsoft Lumia 950 with Win10 (I have got it purchased last week) has the same feature - it is able to be docked to a large screen and to an external real keypad and to have its Windows Universal Apps (including Office suite apps) adapted their UI "automagically". I haven't tried it yet - purchasing the docking hardware (a small box) is the next step for me planned for this March.

Thank you.
