Interesting point, UberGoober. Some of the same people who leaked accurate Update 1 rumors claim that windowed Modern apps will arrive in Windows 9 next year. But by then, too little too late? It seems like a feature that...

That happens to me, too. I can understand their reasoning -- since more people are accessing the site on mobile instead of desktop, real estate is that much more important on smaller screens. I'm okay with photos filling...

I don't suppose you would care to make a small wager on how most tablets are used, would you? Yes, many are used essentially as big-screen smart-phones in business, but even then, the vast majority are used for information...

I'm with you on wanting to be able to customize filtering of my news feed.
In reply to: Re: What do you want?
Agreed, Laurie. I find tablets limiting for certain kinds of productivity, but I think it's inaccurate and myopic to whitewash tablets as consumption devices. We explored various workplace tablet use cases in a magazine...

I disagree with Josh Mckenty, or anyone who may think that the PaaS community could benefit from RedHat abandoning OpenShift and joining the CF Foundation. What the world needs right now the most is PaaS interoperability. 1. ...

Oh, PowerShell... There's an industry of Microsoft partners who exist just to make PowerShell less difficult to deal with. Anyhow, you bring up an interesting point. Microsoft brought a bunch of enterprise capabilities...

@Gigabob Was there something about Cover Oregon that made it more complex than other state projects that did incorporate some off-the-shelf software as a starting point? Also not clear what you're saying about Sheehan:...

I would disagree that tablets are primarily "entertainment-consuming platforms." In all manner of industries, salespeople are using tablets as primary device now -- at home office and in the field. Many knowledge workers...

Thanks for sharing, Gary, sounds really cool. Is the project ongoing? It sounds like it was successful, and cost-effective. Have the benefits spurred growth in the program? Any of our readers who are involved in education...

Am I the only person annoyed by the tendency toward GIGANTIC photos on web pages, including Facebook--especially on tablets? I find I keep trying to swipe up to move down a page and instead I end up going directly to a photo...

There is no way anything that can be called a 'tweak' will fix Win8. If M$ wants to keep the 'Modern' UI for real computers (as opposed to tablets, which are primarily entertainment-consuming platforms), it should...

Steep price. If Apple ever releases the so-called iPad Pro, I can actually imagine it undercutting this price, since I doubt Apple would charge a $400 premium for the larger screen. (That's assuming, of course, that the...

Mark Thiele of InterNAP data center builder, Switch, makes an excellent point. There is a bigger issue here. There's no such thing as a cross-cloud PaaS platform, with one or two immature exceptions. Maybe this debate contributes...

Thanks for weighing in. Desktop user frustration coming through loud and clear here. Perhaps the tweaks did not go far enough?

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I also prefer to sort my feed by "Most Recent" instead of "Top Stories" and it drives me crazy when it reverts to the latter -- both on mobile and desktop versions.

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.

If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
