- rbanffy 17y agoAccording to Microsoft, there is no rest of us. At least, there won't be for long. I'll flag the article as it looks an awful lot like Microsoft astroturfing. I suggest you do the same.
- yxhuvud 17y agoLets see, their previous killer apps also either required Windows, or WAS Windows. I don't really see how being platform specific affects ability to be a killer app. Obviously depending on how a "killer app" is defined.
- ivenkys 17y agoPlatform specific does effect the ability to be a "killer app". Ms Windows being a killer app was in a completely different time period. Any app that has to have game changing ability has to be cross-platform or perhaps run on the web. Anything else and its not a "killer app". It might get the bills paid and be profitable but "killer app" it ain't.
- richardw 17y agoThe definition of a killer app is one where somebody will buy the platform just to use your app. By its nature it makes you choose a platform. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application
