They have made no announcement that apps bought in one store will allow a download in the other. It seems safe to assume they aren't the same thing since WP7 apps won't run on windows 8 without some (minor) changes.
Currently posting from Edmonton using 250 down / 15 up / unlimited data. Sucks to be you bro, but you shouldn't say all of Canada has crap broadband just because you do.
If you actually look at the facts of the situation the intention is not difficult to understand. But what the fuck ever. If you want to be naive it's your choice.
Is absolutely trolling.
I can't speak for decisions I didn't make, but I can guess. Linux is an very fragmented platform. Getting a major piece of software to work across different distros often requires hacks and changes specific to each one. It's very rarely just a matter of recompiling and it's good. If you follow some of the microsoft blogs (windows 8 for example), one of the most common questions they get asked is why didn't you include feature X. The response is usually along the lines of not enough people would use it to be worth the effort. No company has enough resources to implement everything that everyone ever wanted.
Microsoft actually does contribute code to mono. The missing components are mainly either deprecated or windows specific; for 99% of applications it's good enough. Troll harder.

A lot of people remember it, we just aren't dumb enough to believe in conspiracies.

It's kind of irrelevant and pedantic in this context.
That doesn't give you the freedom to take whatever you want from them.
Everything makes perfect sense when you decide you can just make something up.
Yeah damn all those assholes wasting their money while actively enjoying their lives. How dare they.
Woah woah woah, chess gets broadcasted?
All 3 comments so far are AC whining about a football article on his precious slashdot. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's really that easy.
The C# compiler was written in C++.
For now it is, sure.
But Microsoft priced its browser below zero and killed his company.
Shit! How did I miss out on the free money express?
2 hours north of Edmonton is the middle of nowhere. Living out in the bushes has its pros and cons, like anywhere else.
$140 standalone. It's cheaper if you bundle it but I don't need TV.

Normally the generic form is a source-code tarball
Have fun.
Sorry but you don't sound knowledgable about this subject you're choosing to speak about.
Well at least I can spend 3 seconds in google.
You might have strong emotional feelings or some kind of faith-based belief
Cute.
I really do sincerely wish I had mod points. Instead I'll give you a virtual *high-five*.

Isn't Java ratified as an ECMA standard?
Nope, it's not.

Having a language ratified as an ECMA standard is fairly binding I find. You might want to update your trolling.
the kernel doesn't parse fonts.
The counter:
fbcon is part of kernel and handles, along other things, text rendering
Your response:
fbcon only handles bitmap fonts
If you want to agree with someone, why be so snarky?
Like what? Using more CPU for audio than for playing a video? (yes, I did this test)
What is this 1997? Is your cpu really stressing out over decoding an mp3?
/. intentionally disallows edits so people can't trick others into strawman attacks.
Hear hear! Back in my day we had to use a bank of toggle switches to set the mouse coordinates, and that's the way we liked it.
No lies are required, it's actually true.
You might want to check your facts.
