Are you a developer using Microsoft products? If so, they pay your salary so I would be grateful for them. :)
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
No.

May be because, every now and then a Microsoft product becomes a nightmare for me.:~Then why do you keep using and even paying for those products? Well, probably because the boss decided to put his money on a safe bet. You might want to realign your expectations.

I feel that was my worst mistake ever

(which I feel is simply a PoS) Surface RT tablets
Have you actually *used* one? I've owned one since day one and have been *very* happy with it.
*Yes*. My brother owns one. He brought it for a craze and now it is lying, gathering dust. But, I love the Pro one.

Why do you feel that? For doing tablet like things both the pro and rt are quite nice.
Play my game Gravity: Android[^], Windows Phone 7[^]
Only speaking about the RT. Pro is nice.

I find myself amused with people who've convinced themselves that failure on the part of Microsoft is a good thing. Those of us who were around in the 80's and 90's remember what a headache it was to get things to work together - and many of us realize that the conformity that Microsoft brings is in large part why computers are so accessible today. A large fracturing of the eco-system would make most of our jobs a huge pain in the arse. If you think Apple could take Microsoft's spot right now you're mistaken. Your preferences don't matter to me - I only write this to point out that the nirvana in your head is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Seems like Microsoft is just blowing it this year. Maybe time for Gates to become CEO again like Jobs did for Apple.

Thanks for giving me permission to have my opinion!
It wasn't permission, rather acknowledgement.

Agreed. That's because most people have done the research and don't like Windows 8, so they don't want a tablet with that crappy OS on it.

I have Windows phone, and I don't have any problem with the tiled approach on the phone. Using that same look in Windows, and VS 2012, and other apps & devives is terrible. I utterly HATE the look of VS2012. Flat black & white, all square. And most people I've talked to agree. It's too blah! From a technical standpoint Win u8 is WAY too restrictive. There's so much you CAN'T do that it make is nearly impossible to work with, other than in a cloud environment.

I asked for your reasoning in calling Windows RT "idiotic"
I worked at Sony when it first came out. OEM's typically get first crack at new OS's & such. I can't remember anyone there at any level who didn't dislike it. And like I said, from a simple asthetic standpoint... who designed this?? A room full of children? I have contracts with 6 companies, and none of them will make the change to Win 8. Win Server 2012 maybe, but not Win 8 - WAY too unproductive. It's clear MS learned NOTHING from the Vista fiasco.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Use one of the themes. If you're on Update 3 you can apply a VS 2010 blue theme. If not you can install the theme extension to get it and others besides.
