After so many times leaving developers in the dust by coming up with new, non backward compatible technology, I'll wait till they prove they can attract customers and have some staying power.

The fact that windows phone doesn't support c++ means the big game companies have to rewrite their entire engine, rather than port it. I don't think we're ever going to see the likes of GTA, or infinity blade on the windows phone

Windows Phone 8 does support C++ according to this weeks announcement.

Ok, I stand corrected. I hadn't read the latest news

Sit corrected instead. It's much more comfortable.

Microsoft has gotten analysts debating if its tablet Surface is indeed an iPad-killer, but the secrecy that shrouded its biggest bet yet is also risking the trust of long-time partners including PC-maker Dell, which barely had three days notice from the developer of Windows operating system.
"It is hardly ideal," Steve Felice, president and chief commercial officer for the $62-billion Dell, told ET. "But this is the way it is in the technology industry, where the rules are constantly changing."

Microsoft has officially announced Windows Phone 8, in San Francisco today. The new Windows Phone 8 experience will offer re-sizable tiles, customizable colors, & live updates, and more.
This release of Windows Phone will have the Windows Core. It will be based on the rock-solid core of Windows 8 operating system. This would mean that both would share common networking, security, media and web browser technology, and a common file system, translating in better performance, more features, and new opportunities for app developers and hardware makers to innovate faster.

OK, it wasn't a glass, it was a bottle. It was 35C with about 200% humidity so it was a full bottle of chilled Aussie white.
When I say "full" I mean that purely as a historical state of the bottle. the dFull / dT was a very negative number.

Well, since it's different on different versions of the Mac OS, let alone between Windows and Mac O/S, we do seem to have a long finger pointing at the software.
No problem - medical "science" always behaves as though what they're doing is always correct, and when everything changes, they still behave that way. And besides . . . whatever happens to the patient, they still charge the same fees.

Could you (as a software developer) delete all of the code you wrote in a day and rewrite it in around an hour? Chances are your answer is yes. Why is that? Is it because developers are lazy, overpaid jerks? I would argue that it is because there is a lot more to our jobs than meets the eye. Well there's coffee, Code Project, more coffee, lunch...

No. I could not. I can't remember what I did -- that's why I store my code in files, then stick in a version control.

Eating, sleeping, playing with the dogs, maybe five minutes of actual coding. More like 10 if I am using the Windows Forms designer with databound controls.
