First credible Surface Pro 5 rumors materialize

It’s been a solid year and a half since Microsoft updated its Surface Pro line, yet the rumor mill has kept surprisingly quiet on any updates. But today we may be getting our first look at what’s to come, courtesy of longtime Microsoft connoisseur, Paul Thurrott.

Unfortunately, there’s not much to it.

Surface Pro 5 will not change the Surface Connect power connector, I was just told. Kaby Lake, nothing dramatic

Thurrott says the Surface Pro 5 won’t make any dramatic changes. We’ll get Kaby Lake processors, as expected, but Microsoft is keeping its proprietary ‘Surface Connect’ charger (which also serves as a docking port).

Some have taken this to mean that the Surface Pro 5 won’t get USB-C, but that seems extremely unlikely to me. Microsoft has held out on the port long enough, and the “no one uses USB-C” argument no longer holds water now that every new phone that isn’t an iPhone comes with it. It’s also totally possible that the device could support charging through both USB-C and a proprietary charger, as we’ve seen on some Windows laptops.

Microsoft is rumored to be announcing its next hardware event within the coming weeks, though the signs suggest there won’t be a new Surface Book or Surface Phone quite yet. I just want to know what ever happened to the successor to the non-Pro Surface 3?

Apple’s Lisa operating system to be released for free in 2018 The Computer History Museum in California has planned to release Apple’s legendary Lisa operating system (OS) for free as open source this year, the media reported. The Mountain View-based museum announced that the source code for Lisa, Apple’s computer that predated the Mac, has been recovered and was being reviewed by the tech giant itself, reports 9to5Mac. Lisa, released in 1983, was one of the first personal computers to come equipped with a graphical user interface and a support for mouse, but ultimately only sold 10,000 units. “Just wanted to let everyone know the sources to the OS and applications were recovered, I converted them to Unix end of line conventions and spaces for Pascal tabs after recovering the files using Disk Image Chef, and they are with Apple for review,” said Al Kossow, a software curator at the museum. “After that’s done, the code that is cleared for release by Apple will be m...
