The best presentation tools should have attractive, professional-looking templates to build presentations in a hurry. With that in mind, here's what I was looking for:

When looking for the best presentation apps, I wanted utility players since slideshows are used for just about everything, from pitch decks and product launches to class lectures and church sermons.

For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog. We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. So, if that's still an option, it could have the custom touch UI at startup and for gaming, but then have an option to launch Windows desktop for anything that might need that.All of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software. I believe, but I confess I'm not sure - MS may have changed the licensing requirements - that same device can also offer an option to launch Explorer and the Windows Desktop. MS uses a variation on this approach themselves with Xbox - totally different UI for optimized use with controllers. This could include, for example, giant touch buttons in place of a Start Menu.

A hardware developer can install Windows Embedded and completely remove the default UI, if they wish, providing their own custom interface to better align with the form factor. What you're referring to is the Desktop UI, which is designed primarily for mouse and keyboard (though it's also pretty good for touch again with Windows 11, maybe not quite as good as Windows 8, but better than 10). Windows as an OS provides a highly responsive 10-finger touch system built into the OS, which is all the touch support any application or games need for a fantastic touch UI. Richard, you're conflating unrelated factors.

Personally, I think the check on that should be that we, as customers, don't reward unethical behavior with our money, but I respect that other customers make decisions using their own preferred criteria. There is no excuse for abandoning ethical behavior. The problem is when companies forsake ethics, and then try to use the quest for profit as an excuse. Capitalism and the quest for profits are good things. There are many here who criticize profit as if that's a dirty word. I say this as a guy who is rabidly pro-freedom and capitalism. I've criticized the ethics of Valve for doing this after Microsoft worked with them to co-develop gaming options for Windows users.Ī doctor can also make a lot of money prescribing drugs to addicts and those addicts may be happy about it, but it's unethical (I'm not suggesting that's a parallel for Valve and gamers, just that there is no connection between customer appreciation and the ethical nature of the business decision). Richard, I've not criticized the Steam Deck in terms of the end user experience. I do think the hardware design is pretty good. For me, that's unforgivable, but I don't resent that gamers may want these.

It's because they didn't even offer that, that I can't see any other reason but anti-MS spite on their part (and Gabe Newell's words indicate as much).

I would have no objection (or at least much less of one) to Steam offering the Steam Deck if they at least offered a version with Windows, even if at a premium to pay for the license cost (or is it small enough that Windows is free?).

I've mostly moved my gaming from my own Linux devices (I used to run a touchscreen gaming division where we made games for bars and restaurants and created many original short-play casual games) and a Windows gaming rig, to Xbox Series X for the simplicity of playing on a console and now that consoles have reasonably good hardware. Thanks, ladydias! I used to be on top of all of this, when I was in the gaming sector, but now I'm mostly just an observer.
