I have a Fitbit blaze and I have been using it for over 3 to 4 months. The one thing I would like to know is my sleep patterns and in this, I have been disappointed. I have been seeing no reading at all 2 or 3 times in a week except for total hours slept.
Also I find that step measurement is sluggish and it does not update sometimes even after I take 20 to 25 more steps. Perhaps it has an update latency.
Fitbit Ionic is out and you could pre-order. Well as for me, what would I do with the one I have. If I see enough positive reviews about sleep measurement, I may go and by one.

Voice recognition: Voice recognition will always be a problem unless voice-training is carried out even when the user is not aware. Just a few lines of reading some text will not ensure voice-recognition even 60% of the times. Both Cortana and Siri have failed to recognize voice. AI needs lot more turbo-charging before voice recognition becomes a reality.

One thing I will expect from Microsoft is to take complete care of the malware and virus threats. Can Microsoft promise this?
Presently how it is going to be priced is up in the air and may slowly emerge. Everyone who has Windows will get an upgrade.
The other question although you do not worry about Windows software, what about computer hardware upgrade? How often it needs to be upgraded? I have about 4 laptops in my apartment which resulted from the relentless Microsoft upgrades of not only Windows but also other Microsoft products like SQL Server, SharePoint etc.
Most importantly will Microsoft makes money for the investors?
