Quote: spoon is prefect
I was a school prefect when I was (a lot) younger.

And I would believe that if you had learned how to construct a sentence in the most basic of forms.

You actually don't have sense of humour you are aware of, do you?

You lost the ability to be funny after you took a rude stance.

A rude stance? Sounds kinky. You really don't have sense of humour.

The core of Xbox One is Windows RT aka Windows 8
|
|

Anyone that has built a company developing windows 8 apps and signed a contract with Microsoft for them to continue the platform cares and would probably sue Microsoft for breaking that contract by releasing windows 9.

That's not entirely true.
First, those parties who "signed a contract" didn't, and even if they did they would have to show that their business was harmed by the release of the next generation of Windows. Considering MS goes through great lengths to maintain backward compatibility, that's very unlikely.
|
|
|
|
|
And I own one of those companies.
|
|
|
|

So what? In either case in order to sue them you have to be able to demonstrate irreperable harm to your company by the release of the next version of Windows.
Frankly, if that is the case, you actually screwed yourself because you didn't take this well-known possibility into account in your own business model.
|
|
|
|
|
That so far isn't difficult
|
|
|
|
|
To incorporate change into your business model? Yep, it isn't hard at all.
To sit there and whine that Microsoft changed something? That's easy to.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes that is what people do when they talk about windows 9.
Instead of talking about reality.
I've invested 3 years into building long term solutions with Microsoft products and have contracts with Microsoft to provide the market for said programs.
If they do not hold up on their contract - I don't have to f***ing change.
