                      Yeah. I tried VC2012, and, geeez, it really sucks. They even did not get the UI fixed, and you need to run the face recognition every time you run a build.

                                I thought the only potential 'game changer' in that article was the discussion of the windows app store. A serious app store, with validation, certification, purchase pipeline, etc could change the way end users think about software. I know a whole lot of people who don't really understand the concept of downloading and installing something, let alone paying for it. Making the PC more like an end user appliance could introduce a whole new class of applications and an interesting new revenue model.

                                    I'm not sure I like the app store thing. Just look at Android's store. Google can add/remove software whenever it wants on any device that runs android. That means they can watch what you're doing, and intercept data. Do you really trust Microsoft not to abuse this kind of power?

                                      Provided it is done in an optional way. There still needs to be a way to manually download .exe/zip/.msi files etc for us techy/paranoid guys and for installs of complex software like virus checkers, web servers, etc. But for end users installing a messenger app, or a photo editing app installing it via an appstore is a a far better solution. The Linux repository system is fantastic, it makes finding and installing anything so simple.

                                        Android allows you to install stuff that's not from the market. You just download the relevant .apk, plug your phone into your PC and away you go.

                                        He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

                                          And that is why Android I like, and iPhone I don't.
