- z92 14y agoThat article was exactly what I was thinking of while reading this post. Thanks that you posted the link.
- beagle3 14y agoYep. And like in the battlefield, fire and motion works when you already have an advantage, but doesn't when you're in an inferior position (Which Microsoft is right now in the mobile market - and are not as dominant in the desktop[1] market) [1] by which, I don't mean they are remotely in danger of being dethroned. Just that they can't dictate application standards anymore, because most activity happens on the web.
