The top bar seems to be the place where all action items are like sweep and delete so that is where I looked first and found it. I prefer the way outlook application has it though. A big button right in the front.

"mythz", Merto style apps can always be done in HTML5, CSS, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br21138... so I am not sure why you say that the cross platform rich initiatives have been killed. More details: http://www.

And if it offered relevant standards then it's quite likely that Apple won't qualify given how they are assembled.

Getting acquired is one of many exit strategies and a very viable one. For someone who just has a small idea for a niche product/feature, getting acquired might be a better approach.

Calling it cunning is representative of the distrust HN tends to put on anything Microsoft. If this was anything that Google did, it will be lauded for promoting startup culture and helping the hacker community.

Not a mac user here but its amusing to know that OS X has had problems supporting such simple things such as dual monitor.

Its ingenuous how they talk about indie developers. If the founder is as knowledgeable about the gaming industry as she claims to be then she knows that game development by indie developers is great and a couple lucky ones will emerge but t

Google has proved time and again that it has no regard for IP and Copyright. So nothing of surprise here. It's the new 800 pound gorilla so the only recourse I guess is to publicize it and have them acknowledge it.

When it comes to mobile and browser, Microsoft probably did not prioritize properly and I think they acknowledged it too. Using that as an argument to question their technical ability is not right. IE10 can take any browser head on and so c

I don't know if throwing away is a better mechanism. I feel the throwing away should also include at least some justification of why it was not important as compared to what you already have on your plate. This will help when the same featu

If urgency is one of the qualities of a leadership then yes Microsoft seems keen to create new products rather than just sit on the sidelines until somebody creates a market. Microsoft has been burnt badly by following that approach. iPod,

second that. 7" is a great size for a tablet. I used fire for some time and it was quite useful to take it with me. If I am going for a larger tablet though I'd much rather prefer a more functional Surface over iPad... if only it was availa

by barista 14y ago
Agree. 7" is the best size for a tablet. It's really portable, very handy. If I were to buy a larger tablet, something like Surface with its fancy keyboard cover is far more appealing than a tablet that is only partially functional.

So this looks similar to the Local Scout that Windows Phone added a couple of years ago. Of course that was limited only to places. Features like these are nice "demo" features. These make great ads but does it really get used in real life?

Apparently that is what Microsoft is trying to solve with the unified core. If the developers have ability to write code one time and target both the phone and the tablet/desktop, it is quite appealing proposition.

It probably did. Long time ago. IE on RC build of Windows 8 does not crash.

You are assuming that the brand are business are done. At the end of all the investment Microsoft has a great consumer brand name and a beachhead in living room. What is that worth to you? To call it a loss, what makes you assume that the b

Isn't this true about applications/games with dependence on hardware capabilities also? How's this different?
