Only in the last week we have some info about WP8.1 , But for the last couple of years nothing nada zip. So many people gave up on the platform or never bought in in the first place because it was an unfinished work and nothing official was ever said about the future roadmap.

That's a terrible way to run things and I can't believe he was rewarded by being put in charge of the fucking crown jewels - Windows.

Joe - now please don't clam up for the next two years and go radio silence on Windows 9. There are plenty more fish to choose from these days if you want to act coy.

He's not in charge of Windows in general, only on the UX. And I think the stagnation of WP had more to do with the resources he got to throw at it. Now that WP is moved to the Windows team, it finally gets some real attention from Microsoft.
