VB6 dead? My VB6 apps, with my updates to support registry and file virtualization, run flawlessly under Windows 8.
Silverlight dead? Silverlight 5 was only released a few months ago, and supports out-of-browser AND in-browser COM automation. Good luck approaching that functionality with any other technology.
Silverlight powers WP7 and some pretty awesome websites. If I wanted to start a new website that was more impressive than anything, was a mature technology with lots of examples and free open source libs available, and ran on PCs and Macs (99% of the market?), I'd use it in a heartbeat.
Deserted developers? MY ASS.
Microsoft supports developers and legacy code better than any technology company. Period.
Good point. Also, if one really does go through the reviews on Amazon, one can see they are genuine; people who have reviewed hundreds of other products over many years, often providing negative reviews. I don't think the Amazon system is being rigged here or in riggable in general like that.
I checked them out myself last week. The Clearview display on the Lumia 900 is the absolute best I have ever seen. I never thought Samsung AMOLEDs could be beat in quality. Unfortunately, I'm under contract for another month... and kind of think the Windows 8 phones coming out later in the year might be even a bigger deal...
Amen brother.
More like Nokia hardware would run slower, more laggy and have to be rebooted frequently with Android on it. BTW: WP7 devices now have all top 5 spots for devices on Amazon rated by customer satisfaction
I know I posted this already. It beared repeating, and you comment beared elevation.

ARM is alien space for MS? Someone should have told the CE division about this long ago.

"I also surmised that Steve Jobs might have been reincarnated at MS (Microsoft)" Classic! :) What if??? A new meme is born! http://memegenerator.net/Reincarnated-Microsoft-Employee-Steve-Jobs
Post examples of this massive, fraudulent Astroturfing campaign on Amazon, or STFU please.
