The number one priority for MS needs to be unifying the SDKs, app and payment platforms for Win8, WP8 and XBox Live.
If developers were able to target all three with a single codebase it would be a game changer and I can easily see it being the number 2 development platform behind iOS.
- mariusmg 14y agoNever gonna happen (regarding the SDKs).Sure...some things might be somehow similar (XAML) but some codebase won't run on all 3 type of devices. Different things for different hardware. Only thinking at how inefficiently apps are build today make me shudder at running those things on a Xbox.
- delinka 14y agoPlease don't format your own comments like this. It's difficult to read on mobile devices.
- freehunter 14y agoHeck, it's difficult to read on a desktop. Having horizontal scrollbars in the middle of the page is less than ideal.
- podperson 14y agoNo, the number one priority is shipping a product that customers buy. As Apple has shown, developers will learn a new language, new API, and new toolchain if the customers are there. Heck, Microsoft proved it with Windows 3/95.
