@ David513b & @mjtomlin71
Did you guys really read the entire thread before bashing me? I accepted that was a mistake to say Objective-C as variant of C++. My bad, I replied back to @cosuna and @andrewjg. Please stop it. Otherwise I think you both as blind fanbois who have no passion for technology. I have 100% passion for technology and I don't care about its manufacturer. Of course I do have issues with businesses and their products like MotoBlur from Motorola, but thats all.
@mdelvecchio
So what do you call about this?
I would consider retooling if their devices were runaway hits, but let's be honest, with RIM, Androids, iOs, et al using a much more consistent model and actually being so far in the horizon in terms of sales, I doubt I will go back to the horrible language that is C++ (just ask Linus, Ken, James, Anders, etc.) just to program a couple of unproven M$ platforms.
First of all MS is not M$, only Microsoft bashers tend to write in that way to show their hatred against it. Secondly, Microsoft has been in the business of embedded marketing for a long time and if you really look into the image that Mary Jo put, it speaks for itself. The addition to already existing platform in its next version is supporting Silverlight and thus Tablets/Slates.
