Microsoft is still in the innovation business. If you don’t think so, you haven’t heard about Microsoft’s open source electronics prototyping platform called Gadgeteer. Try it before they cancel it for no one using it

Don't worry it will not happens 
I have a Fez Spider, the best toy I ever bought.
They can't cancel, or if they do, it does not matter.
Gadgeteer is a open source design spec for these pluggable micro controllers, Microsoft doesn't make the components.
GHI Electronics and Netduino takes care of building the real hardware and shipping the modules.
There is a small hobbyist community around these products, it is a great place to be.
I highly advice you to give a try, you'll feel empowered !

Don't tempt me to reply on that.
You do know that this is the insider news forum. Your incoherent rant has absolutely nothing to do with news.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That would be very clever (so I might have trouble believing it from that company).
With Elop in charge of Nokia (at least the phone division), I'm not sure. He might have made Microsoft think he was going to switch, but I don't think they had it in them. They had re-tooled from Symbian not very long ago.
Bankruptcy on the other hand: yeah, that was a good possibility.

Robotics engineer Taylor Alexander needed to lift a nuclear cooling tower off its foundation using 19 high-strength steel cables, and the Android app that was supposed to accomplish it, for which he’d just paid a developer $20,000, was essentially worthless.

In the last several years, we’ve seen a rapid shift in software and app interface design, from 3-D and skeuomorphic to flat and minimal. Although this trend has become nearly ubiquitous, let’s take a moment to consider how we got here and what influence it’s having on interface design as a whole. You can never be too flat or too thin?

By leveraging MVVM, some other common design patterns, and a few tricks, you can write a cross-platform presentation layer that will work on both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, as Brent Edwards explains. YMMV, but FYI on MVVM. OKdOK?
