so what? they already announced that for skylake. they just dont support it anymore, doenst mean it doesnt work with older windows versions, only if it doenst work it isnt their problem and that is absolutely normal to ditch support for older system. and who carse? mainstream suppor for 7 has ended long ago.

and btw that announcement about kaby lake, amd and qualcomms stuff is 7 months old too! only difference there -> even 8.1 is affected which is still in mainstream support, but who uses that anyway?

We are happy to announce that you can now pre-order Windows 10 PC games from the Windows Store. As we prepare for one of our biggest holiday launches ever, the Window 10 PC versions of ReCore, Forza Horizon 3, and Gears of War 4 can be pre-ordered from the Windows Store starting today.

If MS continues to add those awesome new features, they might soon rival Steam and co.

Gears 4 Win10 store = 899 SEK which equals a pretty whooping 105 USD, guess that's a first.
(Outside of Australia. Razz )

EDIT: Ah it's the bundle "ultimate" regular version is...not available for pre-order.
(Same with Forza 3, ReCore however only has the single standard edition priced at a OK'ish 305 SEK.)

Yea i agree.
MS often makes shit decisions. But this feature is just meant for the owner of a game. It's not meant to share the game with others that way for example.

It seems that the store now supports the revolutionary offline mode:
http://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-enables-offline-play-for-windows-10-games/

Quote:
There are more caveats, though. You're limited to just one "designated offline device" at a time, and you can only change your designated offline device three times per year. Switching into offline mode isn't all that easy, either. First, you'll need to set your designated offline device:

- Make sure that you’re online.
- Check that your device has the latest Windows updates: Go to Start, Settings, Update and security, and then Windows Update and see if any relevant updates are available.
- Open the Store. You’ll be prompted to sign in if you haven’t already.
- Select the Me icon (this is your profile picture).
- Select Settings, and then under Offline Permissions, make sure that the toggle is set to On.
- Say the prayer: Hail Phil, full of grace. Our xbox is with Thee. Blessed art Thou amongst doritos and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, who will bring us eternal salvation.

Speak for yourself, mate. I don't give a dime for GoW and M$. (/hint)

And no, they are not after money, you are right. They are looking for visibility, brand awareness (Win 10 / their store), popularity / publicity. And even talking shite about them is - in a way - promoting their concepts / products. And the bastards know this.

I call them such, as the game (GoW) was not really meant for the gamers, for them to have fun and enjoy it, but it's - just as usual - a means to an end for M$. EXACTLY as the first GoW.

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/11/03/introducing-unified-update-platform-uup/
Quote:
We’ve updated over 400 million devices running Windows 10 to date and release new builds to Windows Insiders nearly every week. That is pretty incredible if you think about where we were just 2 years ago. But we know we can do even better! Our customers have told us they would like updates to be more seamless, that they’d like more control over the timing of when updates are installed, that they’d like updating to require less local processing and thus improve battery life, and that they’d like download sizes to be reduced. We’re working on all of the above. In the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, we added active hours and improved the control capabilities for our customers. In the next Windows 10 update, we’ll be improving that and more. Today, we are ready to roll out to our Windows Insiders an improvement that works across PC, tablet, phone, IoT, and HoloLens. We are announcing the next generation of our delivery technologies incorporated into our latest Insider builds called the Unified Update Platform (UUP).

One of the biggest community and customer benefits of UUP is the reduction you’ll see in download size on PCs. We have converged technologies in our build and publishing systems to enable differential downloads for all devices built on the Mobile and PC OS. A differential download package contains only the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, rather than a full build. As we rollout UUP, this will eventually be impactful for PCs where users can expect their download size to decrease by approximately 35% when going from one major update of Windows to another. We’re working on this now with the goal of supporting this for feature updates after the Windows 10 Creators Update; Insiders will see this sooner.

We have also revamped how devices check for updates, making them more efficient. As we move to UUP, we are reducing the update data sent to client devices as well as the amount of processing we are doing on devices, this especially important for devices built on the Mobile OS. Using UUP, when your device checks for updates, the Windows Update service will evaluate which updates are needed by a given device. The Windows Update service then returns these updates to the device for download and install. Because more processing is being done by the service, this will lead to faster checks for update operations. It’s important to note that with UUP, nothing will look or behave differently on the surface, UUP is all underlying platform and service optimization that happens behind the scenes.

We’ve also taken concepts that existed in the PC world and have extended them to Mobile. As you may have noticed in the past, PC flights update to the latest build in one operation, regardless of what base build you are currently running, yet that’s not how it worked for the Mobile OS. On your phone, we would sometimes require you to install in two-hops (updates) to get current. With UUP, we now have logic in the client that can automatically fallback to what we call a “canonical” build, allowing you to update your phone in one-hop, just like the PC.

We’re excited to start using UUP to release new builds to Windows Insiders. We plan to roll-out UUP in stages – starting today for Mobile devices. We expect to start using UUP for PC Insider builds later this year and then IoT and HoloLens shortly after. Our team is excited to begin publishing Mobile builds using UUP and seeing the results of a lot of hard work in unifying our update publishing platform for Windows.

Thanks,
Bill
