Hi Guys: Apple may have pillaged much of the Metro desktop design but their latest front-end, Yosemite, is clearly a knock off of the Linux GNOME interface. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but considering that Apple was suing various Linux distros for emulating their current desktop design, it all seems like a bit of hypocrisy. Personally, when it comes to the FE presentation manger, copy away or how are we going to advance. (I have been using Microsoft's CSS and HTML scripts to build a new web site and so far it looks really nice...)

Starting FY15 - Bold Ambition & Our Core Hi Doug Yes, there are so many clever men out there knowing exactly what MS should do. Like Arthur, I had to read it twice. Given how fast MS moves*) at the moment, I find interesting to read in Satya's own words what he thinks. *) For example, look at how the original Metro design now influences on everything, even Apple. Often so small steps that you hardly notice but it adds up. /gustav ________________________________________ Fra: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com <accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com> på vegne af Doug Steele <dbdoug at gmail.com> Sendt: 14. juli 2014 19:04 Til: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Emne: Re: [AccessD] Somewhat OT: Satya Nadella's memo.
