    This was the subject of the latest Insider email, but to what was it referring? I couldn't find an article that seemed related to the subject, but maybe I've not had enough coffee this morning... :java:

        Yes... I got no results from the search box in the CP forums, having figured it would appear there since it was the subject of the CP email. Didn't figure it would be the verbatim title of an article on another website. Thanks for the link.

          Well, MS is not gonna lure business developers into making apps with a 30% pay check cut, as you can write business software that's profitable without taking any pay check cut. So maybe some consumer app developers will go for it, but why would you develop for such a tiny eco system?

            That's a fairly arcane way to pass on information... "if you wish to know, run this phrase thru a search engine; but I won't tell you explicitly". That's even more Asberger's than I am.:cool: Thanks, and have a great day!

              Sorry about that - that was actually a news item in the Mobile newsletter (and the headline for that newsletter). How did it become the headline for the Daily? I'm not sure (other than I forgot to manually mark something to be the headline for that one). However, we have top men working on a solution. Top. Men.
