Did they already rolled it out as an update to home users and didn't crash anything?

Somewhere along the Agile transformation companies hit roadblocks, start cutting corners, and they start just going through the motions. What they end up with is a fake Agile approach. They say they are going Agile, but they are not. I'm agile - I never plan ahea

Here's a tip: If someone says the word Agile, they really are not agile.

Microsoft has hinted that cross-platform development framework React Native is a key solution to the problem of writing applications that span both Windows and mobile. If only they had an in-house solution for cross platform
Maybe that dot-something or other, or Tamarind (or something like that).

My reactions, in order...
- Sad, because I am a .NET lover 
- Curious, show me your favourite cross platform tooling Microsoft, I want to learn it too! 
- Are fracking kidding me? JavaScript? Really?

Things may have changed (OK, they've probably changed in 14 years), but I know that Windows and Office were very skeptical and resentful of .NET back when I worked for the Fish Shoppe(tm). That may have played into it. Plus, I guess Xamarin not having a web story?
Uno[^] looks promising, though.

Console yourself it isn't Java AWT. Fortunately that's "too old" for the managers to remember it. Else it would have been a definite toe in the door in that meeting.

I disagree; Microsoft didn't care. Look how they treated CE. It wasn't just the contempt for developers, but their absurd licensing, especially forcing you to go through utterly incompetent "partners."
|
|

Agreed (and kind of my point too) - CE was awful, and they only gave up on it after they had lost to iOS and Android. I think things would have been quite different if they had bought Android, and ditched the licensing. But management in 2005 was not capable of either, it seems.
