Small nitpick: dual core devices were most certainly WP8 devices, since WP7 did not support multicore devices

Not at the moment, I currently work as an iOS developer. But I'm working on a cross-platform app in my spare time (currently I'm only developing the iOS and Android frontends, while I ramp up the core), and when the time for the W

They've also been doing work for making it easier to call WinRT APIs or introducing UWP controls (through XAML Islands) in both WPF and WinForms... A bit of a stretch, but this way they're both inheriting all the work they've

I do and I have no plans to switch away from it. If/when it won't work on Ubuntu anymore I'll probably switch to Plasma, but for sure I'm not going to switch to Gnome. I have a desktop i7-7700 with 32 GB of ram and an RT

Anecdata: I regularly grow a beard and then cut it fully. Windows Hello on my Surface Pro works flawlessy during the growth phase, but it stops working when I cut it off. I guess it adjusts while my beard grows and then it can't recogn
