Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform may not be a huge hit with consumers just yet, but according to a new report by market analysis and strategy firm VisionMobile, it’s definitely catching on with developers. Almost 60% of the developers who responded to this survey say that they plan to develop for the Windows Phone platform. Those are just ‘plans,’ though, and those don’t have to turn into reality. Windows phone, say the survey’s authors, “is indeed the new cool,” but “to turn the buzz into developer buy-in at the levels of iOS and Android, actual adoption must follow soon or fall flat.”

I plan to win the Nobel Prize for physics.
I plan to buy a Lamborghini Aventador.
I plan to retire to the Bahamas and spend my time big game fishing.

Unless something is actually released to the market, everything has to be a plan or thought! obviously.

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.
