>Meanwhile, Microsoft zinged its mobile developers (the very ones they're so desperate to court) even harder by deciding that the new mobile platform they brought out only two years ago would not be compatible with the new mobile platform they're bringing out now. WP7 apps will run on WP8 without any modifications or even without anything needing to be done by the developers. >Well, it turns out that all those developers he wanted to make such a big deal of saying are such a big deal? They're are all kind of pissed off and disgruntled right now. Citation needed and content farms like TNW who will "print" anything to drive clicks don't count. I know it's hip on HN to rag on Microsoft, but cmon, two thousand apps for a platform that is a month away from release(only available to MSDN users right now) and everyone is predicting doomsday? Perhaps developers are making use of the last month to further enhance apps before submitting them?
