Everyone I know who works there just goes on about how disfunctional it is from a management perspective. Microsoft seems to be screwed they depend on their busness users and the vast majority are still using Windows 95'. Due to the number of server level services they plugged in.
Disaster they can reliece a new OS and their userbase will not be pulled along.
I unfortunately can't find the link, but one of the articles I read about this mentioned the porting was limited to UI, file/database and... something else. Location maybe?
Audio and OpenGL graphics weren't part of it though, so anything but the simplest music apps and games wouldn't be covered by this.
I also found it kind of funny that if you go to that Microsoft information site using Safari on an iPad it doesn't load right.
I was just talking about websites that are really slow to render, which is a lot of them. Even Palm Sounds, I love it, but I can't watch it on my ipad, as soon as I scroll my screen becomes grey for a few seconds until it renders. If I scroll to the beginning of a page I have to wait again until it finishes rendering the page. Really, other than for some websites, the ipad is not that great for the internet. I don't know if the ipad2 is better.
Also I don't think I will write every webmasters in the world to make their website compatible with the ipad. The ipad should be compatible with the internet, not the other way around.
A lot of OSX users must believe there's still a lot of Windows 95 boxes out because the icons for computers on a network are crashed W95 computers, it doesn't even uses the XP crashed screen...
ms are catching up (slowly), i only use osx, but i used to fix the laptop of a friend every two months, since i installed 7 for him i dont have to fix it anymore, but windows phone is a joke from user perspective.

Me too! I found it kind of funny that so many websites just doesn't load right in Safari after paying 600$ for an internet device.

No I wasn't talking about flash.

That said, I can still read Palm Sound on my ipad. I didn't wanted to imply that it doesn't work at all.
But every websites that requires a lot of scrolling, like blogs, are painfully slow.

Microsoft may have it's problems, but on what planet are people still using windows 95? xp perhaps...

"ms are catching up (slowly), i only use osx"
Spoken like a true fanboy.
But really, how can you know MS is behind if you only use OSX? Lemme guess, you don't know, but you like to assume? :D
My grandma has been using XP for years, and the only times she calls me about her computer is when she wants new games.
gee, i only wrote 3 lines and you didnt even read the first 1 completely
Does that mean you have used a lot of Windows Phones devices before you trashed the whole platform?
