Oh god, I bet they called it Edge because they wanted to keep the "E" for the logo....

Windows Store now works with .NET and Win32 programs.

Using app v (enterprise) they won't junk up your system when installing and uninstalling. Very good!

god damn. your phone can be a mobile desktop now o.o

Visual Studio on Linux is cool. It is nice to see the relationship has gotten less antagonistic.

Ubuntu Touch phones launching this year have that 'plug into monitor' desktop experience.


Interesting game Microsoft are playing, always seem to be a couple of years behind with their new features

yeah. i blame ballmer for all that non-sense.

This hologram nonsense...

I don't think it's non-sense. it's just we don't really have a use for it yet. imagine the Holo-Lens in a "Google" Glass Form-factor. that would be ground-breaking. i will say this we are getting more and more closer to Deus Ex than ever.

I'm apprehensive to change. It seems a little too science fictiony to me. It would be cool but I think it will need some more time to really catch on.

oh definitely. i don't think this will catch on right away. and i definitely don't think this will be cheap to invest into. i would say in 10 years we'll be able to see this in the general consumers hands.

Yeah, it seems like one those products that they demonstrate in a "perfect world" scenario. Where in reality it probably wont work that well. (for now at least)

a Holographic Wall-E. my goodness. all that's missing is Holographic Porn and the world will go to hell.

I'm pretty excited about what universal apps/software means.

Welp, no word on the android in windows, at least for a non-dev.

"I think i'm going to make out with my "Monroe-Bot" lol

It was a rumor. but i guess the code used in Android can now be seamlessly used in Windows
