Incredible as it seems, Microsoft has managed to botch the Windows 10 SP1 release, which was supposed to be the start for enterprise deployment of Windows 10. Over the week-end, Microsoft simply pulled the build from their servers. According to forums, there are many issues. And most notably, corporations will not be happy to learn that Microsoft has managed to screw bitlocker, their hard drive encryption technology (which we know has both a backdoor and documented flaws for bypassing security checks).

This isn't going to bode well for Microsoft going forward. It wasn't going smoothly either in the consumer space when early adopters realize that Microsoft had planted spies in Windows 10 to record their EVERY doings, and apparently if you managed to find and turn off those settings after the install, you have to do that again after SP1 because Microsoft thinks they should force spy mode as default on your computer.

I don't understand how thousands of companies around the world are not suing Microsoft over this alone already. And even states. And let's not talk about the EU who is very wary on privacy issues in general.

In the meantime, apparently Google went ahead with at least two good news for Android developers and users out there. One is app streaming, a new deployment model which aims at lowering the bar to entry for apps (app fatigue indeed). The other is Android studio, which is the equivalent of Visual Studio for Android, which gets an instant emulator for a change, again lowering the bar to entry for apps development and debugging.
