      I honestly had zero idea that they made a product like this.

        Was interested in Hangouts, which worked well for a while. Was never interested in Allo or Duo. I'll stick with my Signal which already does the RCS stuff the article is talking about.

          Me either, but from the sound of it in that article, it shouldn't be surprising as to why it failed.

                Yeah and their Slack competition Hangout Chat (Not to be confused with Google Hangouts) is not that great so far with no audible notifications or the like on desktop and limited preference settings for a user.

                        Just a little for me, but it's been very good.

                            Just the testing. Seems like most of this technology should be open source from the get-go. I understand the need to make money but nothing precludes making money in this instance. Especially when the hardware is massively expensive and really only available to people who have an existing supply chain in place.

                                    It could be okay, depends what they are stripping out. Windows is very bloated by default, so the idea is sound.

                                      They are removing things like the desktop wallpaper, Registry Editor and MMC management console and more.

                                        Seems like they are keeping the bloat, and removing useful things... wtf.

                                            PC has dramas? Reinstall! None of this troubleshooting nonsense.

                                            That being said, there isn’t a published target audience. Perhaps they really want the kiosk business...
