So, two different types of application UI, two different types of supported architectures, with at least two different types of supported input devices? I guess it's sunk in that they need to do something drastic to remain relevant, but I still can't see a scenario where a drastically different...

You're right -- it really does depend how you define it. Trying to compare one specific version of Windows with "Linux at the time" is difficult at best. Do you compare it with a specific Linux distro? Do you count features which were available as experimental kernel modules or new and...

Being an open source guy, I find some comedy as well as some tragedy in this. First, the comedy -- Windows really hasn't undergone significant under-the-hood changes in more than a decade, and with only a few buzzword substitutions this article could very well have been written 5 or more years...

Microsoft Marketing: We want something that will work well with touchscreens and desktop computers! Microsoft Engineering: We'll take Windows Media Center, apply the interface from Windows Phone, and call it Windows 8. Microsoft Customer: So if we're not using the media center touchscreen...

Just purchased this an hour ago... doh! I really hope this doesn't turn into another COD:Black Ops for PC.

As a developer, I'm going to have to dispute this. Expression Blend/Silverlight is something that simply isn't worth the time I'd invest in learning about -- Flash is already on the way out (and is pretty much anathema in the mobile world), and learning to use an even less supported "MS Flash"...

This is the third story on this issue I've read today, and I have to say, It's great when an article focuses on explaining facts, and then ponders the consequences. Both of the other articles I read completely skipped the facts and skipped to speculation. Keep up the good work Ryan, it isn't...

Who exactly is this supposed to be marketed towards? And since when is deploying a PHP application difficult? I just don't see any overlap between "people using an enterprise-caliber web framework" and "people who can't handle setting up a webserver and a database" and "people who prefer using...

Comments like this just make me scratch my head. One of the great things about making a web application is that you're able to make it free to users while still generating revenue through ads. Still though, this is more or less just interface polish and grandma-friendliness. This isn't...

Any campus deciding to participate in this deal is making a big mistake. From my experience in the University, it's clear that all students can agree on these two things:<BR>-We pay enough already.<BR>-We're not paying for music. We're used to getting it free, and even the least...

I find it odd that there aren't more people questioning this "Rosetta."<BR><BR>Since when is it possible to run PPC-compiled code on x86 chips at 80% of native speed? PearPC has never come anywhere near that number, nor has anyone else. I'm going to have to call BS.<BR><BR>All said, simply...
