Or, as so often happens online, it is a post from someone who isn't who he says he is. I think a post like that needs to have a skeptical eye aimed at it.

So in 2015 Microsoft may bring back features they introduced in 1995!

Original Surface RT w/Type Cover owner here, and I've got my Surface 2 on order. In my opinion, the original RT was perfect for students and business use, whilst the new Surface 2 is ideal for a broader range of consumers...

PaulS, "I don't believe Facebook bought it to just change nothing and to gain nothing. After all, they paid $19billion for it." Exactly. Facebook is not precisely a model on respecting users' privacy. Facebook will...

anon,
I believe more users will delete WhatsApp, just as you did.
I am not a user of the app, and don't plan to become one.

@Susan that's a very accurate descritption of the situation.

Lately, I've been going to work with a friend of mine that does the three cardinal sins (with the phone) while driving: texting, talking and mapping. The first is the worse. Nonetheless, talking on the phone (even without...

@Michael Endler Yes, the benefits (with the current peripherals, e.g. regular monitors) are not persuasive enough. Well put. When you also add the price (more than a hundred bucks for Windows 8 + a new monitor), Windows...

"...at least we can say we were the spark that started it all."
Indeed! Sounds like a very cool and rewarding project. Thanks for following up.
In reply to: Re: What about funding?
Thanks for sharing your experiences, Gregory and DHBarr. DHBarr-- you said you'd recommend it to clients after this update? I'd be curious to hear more. Were you hesitant to recommend it previously purely because of usability...
In reply to: Re: I Installed Windows 8.1 Update 1
I don't think it would be unheard of. I mean, at least 50% of Windows leaks originate through the same handful of channels, so I think if Microsoft were truly interested in keeping things quiet, they'd find a way. If Microsoft...

I am ready to take on Josh for $10, heck, I can even up the ante and go for $25 bucks! Josh, are you on? Having said that, I am not sure why we have to choose between Solum (or whatever it will end up being) and CloudFountry....

Thank you Microsoft for finally fixing Windows 8 so that I can actually recommend my clients use it.

I'm not a WhatsApp user but I don't believe Facebook bought it to just change nothing and to gain nothing. After all, they paid $19billion for it. They may not do it right away but I would tell WhatsApp users to beware.

The sooner MS can throw out the 8.x series - and 9.x if it's slated to be a mere imrovement on 8.x - the quicker they can get back to devoted Windows users. I've been using it since Windows 3.1, and there has never been...

I was one of the lucky few that got the update files yesterday. I have to say the experience is much nicer for keyboard and mouse users. Right click functions are back and the start menu can finally be navigated much easier...

I wonder if it was a mistake that it was available for those few hours. Would it be unheard of if MS did that deliberately? It might get a little buzz going about it. Anything they do that helps non tablet users will be...

This is entirely inconsistent with my experience. I purchased a Surface Pro 2 in December 2013. The unit was dropped in the box on the store floor before I even left the store. I was assured by a sales person who was supposedly...

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
