I don't have any good answers for you re building a community as usually people will only come if there's money. So if you could create some kind of marketplace where customers could ask for things to be built and then devs could

The main problem IMO was the Metro UI which while different from other mobile OSes was too different. It was too cold and futuristic. Games on the platform run really slow compared to other mobile platforms. And games are the number one app

Totally agree WPF is awesome. And WinRT/Silverlight don't hold a candle to it. Only thing is WPF performance and verboseness could be better.

The biggest priority for new CEO is to get the two major divisions OS and Devs on the same page instead of bickering and reinventing the UI several times over from other groups. Secondly, he needs to put focus on UI design and usability ins

Unless you have an excellent track record with a more compelling UX/workflow that works better than existing non-hosted competitors selling a SaaS subscription to a business and expecting them to feel their data is safe will be a hard sell.

As long as Ballmer is at the helm with minimal understanding of technology, design, and dev relations I concur that he'll just be a cog in the giant machine that's just been moving forward due to it's past momentum with deceleration.

Win8 main problem is there's no killer must have app(s) that decimates similar apps on other platforms. The Metro Mail app is almost a complete failure, and the store is not user friendly for discovery of apps. If they can't get their firs

If you close/open a lot of apps due to memory constraints then you have to leave the desktop a lot and it's jarring. The start screen makes it slower to launch apps when you have a lot of apps you frequently used due to scrolling. I just

Nothing wrong with a "lifestyle" company and making a couple 100k for yourself. No need for all the headaches of running a public company and possibly getting kicked out of your own company by VCs, boards, etc. like Jobs did.

As someone that really wanted Win8 to succeed being primarily a Win dev, I can't help but agree with the article. MS needs leadership that truly understands usability. Win8 missed most of the boat for what consumers want and drove their c
