[dba-Tech] Is Microsoft Dumping .Net?

Hi Hans

Ha ha, you mean you won't see any compelling reason. Then, of course, you
won't see any.

Let me give you just four very different reasons:

1. You can program for it in C#.
2. You will enjoy a superior interface.
3. You will stand out from the crowd.
4. As an Apple or Android fanboy you will challenge yourself by owning an
evil device.

As for the subject - Is Microsoft Dumping .Net? - it is just one more
example how careful you should be not wasting your precious time reading
blogs.

Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] Is Microsoft Dumping .Net?

Sorry, Jim, but I can't think of any compelling reason for anyone to choose
a Windows phone over an Android or iPhone. Until Microsoft figures that out,
WP will continue to be a big flop.

Nokia, for the most part, maintains a big market share in cheap mobile
phones for lesser developed countries. Getting access to those markets is of
little benefit to MS because the hardware needed to run the WP OS would make
those phones unaffordable to those people.

I'm not seeing the benefit.
