We're back this week for another episode of #AskDanWindows! What better way to start your weekend?

Many of this week's questions were focused on those upcoming Lumia flagships, so it seems appropriate for me to try to answer them. I also field a few more interesting questions for some lighthearted entertainment.

AskDanWindows Episode 8 Questions of the Week

  • Do you think that Microsoft should have rebranded the Lumia devices, at last when it comes to models like 640, 630, the upcoming 950, 550 - Claes W
  • There is much talk of Astoria in the Windows Phone community, but almost none of Islandwood. Why? - Andreas H
  • Has it got to the point where you'll pour yourself a large whiskey BEFORE reading through the comments on Windows Central? @Rick_Air
  • Is it still the case that the blue colour option for the 950/950XL is for prototypes only (not retail) and if so, why? - Biswajit D
  • Have you secretly given up on Windows Phone? Or are you playing to/mirroring the WP crowd? I only ask because the cynicism, albeit slight is noticeable. - Sean D
  • Does cityman\talkman satisfy your flagship wishes. Or should we hold out for surface phone? - @tbweig
  • How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? – Daniel Gary
  • Do you think that the device that is in the latest Microsoft's video is a Surface Pro 4? @MateuszWantula
