It is really hard to understand.

By now every ms dev knows the Silverlight capabilities so it seems reasonable that more efforts would be spent on promoting the new js/html support.<br />I'm not a SL dev or a Microsoft employee so I have nothing to gain by defending their approach. I just think it may not be totally insane :-)Gabriel Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560632595821530376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15136575.post-66911847926615492982011-09-14T11:32:46.523+01:002011-09-14T11:32:46.523+01:00I'm interested to see how Metro Ui works on a ...I'm interested to see how Metro Ui works on a larger screen. I've had my Windows 7 Phone now for almost a year and I find the Metro Ui to be quite irritating. <br /><br />The panning and scrolling looks cool initially with its friction and inertia, but quickly becomes an irritation.Andy Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068581425050717826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15136575.post-15034843791965153802011-09-14T11:21:25.440+01:002011-09-14T11:21:25.440+01:00I dont think they ever said that you can ONLY use ...I dont think they ever said that you can ONLY use HTML5. Seems that they emphasized HTML5 development so web developers can develop for win8.<br /><br />Seems highly unlikely that that changed the architecture to support languages other than HTML5 in a few months since the first demo...oleghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541889792832505268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15136575.post-59522562880068528642011-09-14T11:04:08.210+01:002011-09-14T11:04:08.210+01:00I do not think that selling a tablet with a precon...I do not think that selling a tablet with a preconfigured android is free. The way I understand it is that there are patents there that incur royalties, and a cloud of uncertainty for future law suits regarding patents and IP breeches. When a vendor goes windows on the other hand, he gets a predictable expense - pay for the license and be protected from liabilities.<br /><br />Not a lawyer - but that what I gathered on the interwebs.Ken Egozihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408953382642388888noreply@blogger.com
