When the person who takes your order at Wendy's mentions that they've heard bad things about Windows 8, you know the game is over.

My guess is that the acquisition of WhatsApp was purely defensive -- and, as such, very little will change with the app (think Instagram, or Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr).

I've worked in consumer law. If this article represents the facts correctly, then this complaint strikes me as baloney -- a marketing gimmick for EPIC more than anything else. Companies with privacy policies...

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.

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.

@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...

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.
