I once cursed IE 10 during CSS test and it crushed that very moment - I just reported it to Microsoft out of fun  !

The Verge[^]:
Microsoft will "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system." Describing the implications of the change, Nadella said "this means one operating system that covers all screen sizes."
Even though this could simplify the situation, it's gonna be quite a challenge.

Strange he doesn't say anything about the hardware or any minimum requirements. I guess it will cover all screen sized with the same text message similar to This device doesn't meet the minimum requirement of the operating system.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Nah, you're too pessimistic. Wait and see. After a while you can run your Dynamics AX client on your Xbox One and battle online for clients. This is the next step in gamification[^]

Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella has today said during the FY14 Q4 earnings call that they are looking forward to talking more about the future of Windows and the many enhancements coming in the next version of Windows in the "coming months". Now, the term "coming months" can mean a number of things, but if recent reports are correct, we assume that time frame will be sometime within this year. OK, I'll be here waiting until they do. Not holding my breath or anything.

Wrong; they're afraid of losing their job if they're not reachable using email, working in their free hours.
If your phone needs to be on, then it's not a balance.

As always we can count on Wally[^] for perspective.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
