Aren't you running the risk of hiding important information, placing stickers right on your monitor's screen like that...
|
|
|
|

I was wondering who would be the first to notice that I stuck them straight on the monitor.
It's a little difficult at times, but mostly they don't bug me. 
|
|
|
|
|
Sure, you did.
Do you also have white-out on your monitor?

The Microsoft Band is dead
Long live the Microsoft Band
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Wow, I completely missed hearing about a MS product until it got taken away.
Rumor has it they are thinking about doing a phone, ... can't wait to miss that one too.
Sin tak ellol

Given all the problems they have had with the Bands, the only surprise is that it's taken this long to make the announcement.

I don't see them making smart watches in future - I mean with all this history of failure, why would people buy those if they made any?
In fact, I have been considering my next phone and it'll most likely be an Android phone. They haven't exactly been impressive with their phone releases either. Started off great but nothing new released in 2 years, App store is still poor, etc.

I loved what they were doing with the phones, back when they were serious about them - I ended up having 4 of them starting with a W7 phone. Ultimately I moved to Android because I was sick and tired of not having the apps available that I wanted. Unfortunately, Microsoft have had a strategy of masterful inactivity which leads me to believe that they just aren't interested - few announcements and a glacial development pace have resulted in a fairly massive loss of confidence. That, combined with a belief that the only thing MS is interested in is the Cloud, leads me to question their entire direction; or lack of one.
I started writing a blog post about developing for UWA but lost the will to live halfway through because everyone I asked has said they just aren't interested in developing UWA applications. When you have desktop apps that run happily on W10 as well as older versions of Windows, why would you waste your time developing an application that can only run on W10?

Yeah, the lack of apps was a much bigger problem for me than I had anticipated.

As far as I am concerned, they lost a lot of developer trust and goodwill when they killed Silverlight. Here was a technology that was growing in popularity and then Microsoft decided that it would be best if they threw it away, seemingly in favour of JavaScript apps - that was the big push at build. I just don't see developers rushing to learn a new technology now when they are concerned that it's going to get ripped out from under their feet.

Well, you are looking at a guy who wrote two books on Microsoft technologies that were retired rather sooner than anyone'd have assumed given the initial hype

Yeah, that's gotta hurt.

A few years ago, some of the VC++ guys jokingly asked me to write a book on .NET so that'd get killed off and everyone'd get back to native coding
