I just finished watching Microsoft’s Build Keynote from yesterday. If you haven’t seen it, and understand developer jargon, I recommend you watch it.
My takeaways:
- Windows is about to get a lot more applications
- Office is now as big a platform for MSFT as Windows is
- Visual Studio Code is very good (I’ve been using it all day)
- Azure is a beast
That first one is pretty important. Me, in August 2013 regarding Windows Phone:
Windows Phone is a much better competitor to iOS than Android currently is. It is clean, simple to use, vastly different than iOS (which is good since Android and iOS just bite off each other with each release), and really fun to play with. The problem? Official apps.
Yesterday Microsoft announced a slew of things that could change the only gripe I had with Windows Phone.
