The Management posted:the new Windows will be the most confusing name they can come up with. I'm guessing Windows Metro idea: we need to use different names for the different home and business SKUs. evoke popular brands like Xbox with the home customers and stress the powerful cloud-enabled office applications on the business side. execution: Windows 360 for home users, Windows 365 for business

i ran into a surface for the first time today and lol it's both too small and too large at the same time (screen size is tablet size, but the surface is about half the thickness of my hugeass laptop), and it shutdown in the middle of a presentation to spend 30 minutes installing updates also, windows 8 looks like total poo poo on the surface's tiny screen. the surface menu could show at most 9 tiles at a time. it looked like it was displaying in 640x480 tbh

Nokia promised a Flipboard Windows Phone app more than a year ago, and it’s finally arrived in the store today. Despite the long delay, it’s debuting without the key feature that attracted users to the app: flipping. The Windows Phone app simply slides onto the next article, rather than a flipping page like the iOS and Android equivalents that have been available for years. It’s more Slideboard than Flipboard.

The big problem boils down to good network connections. Low latency/jitter and a sufficient minimum of bandwidth are all a must. As an in-house desktop replacement right now: no problem, you can do it. On a wireless network inside your LAN or MAN, yep. Stretch that out over the internet and things start getting a bit dicey depending on the connection and the resolution of session you're trying to pipe out.
