I can't help but be suspicious this is a propaganda push to try and move people off devices competing with MS.
I never read .net magazine even when I had a subscription, theres something about the tone of the magazine that rubs me up the wrong way, and its in this article as well.
Not sure how to describe it but I always get a feeling like I'm dealing with a shady street vendor and I have to watch every moment to make sure I'm not being conned. Like buying off pikeys in the UK, you just know something isn't legit.
- astrodust 15y agoIf the Windows Phone platform was doing famously, you can bet there'd be an article touting exactly the opposite. '"C# and XNA are vastly superior to HTML5", says industry expert.' would be the pull-quote.
- stan_rogers 15y agoDon't confuse .net Magazine with Microsoft's .NET platform (or anything to do with it). ".net" has been around quite a bit longer than ".NET", and has always been a web-centric publication.

The MS evangelists I dealt with where A+ characters so I guess they just threw it in as a bribe to butter me up and I was foolish enough to snap up free goodies without question... EDIT: MS do infact make a magazine called .Net Magazine, I was totally confused by another magazine with the same
