This was always going to be the way with Windows 8....and continues with 8.1. Now that the consent decree imposed by the US gov. has been lifted, since Microsoft's monopoly looks far less threatening these days, and Apple and google are getting away with it in the mobile space I think it is game on for vertically integrated software and services from MS.
- TheAnimus 13y agoSome say monopoly, others say horizontal integration. Most non-tech savvy types want the ability to have their email, cloud document storage, cloud music service, browser history / favourites, all effortless syncronised between devices. MS have actually been not that bad at doing this in metro. The share charm is extendible, integrating things like DropBox wouldn't be hard. So long as they make APIs for say extending the images selection thing available to 3rd parties, I don't think its that bad.
