That's my number one pet peeve of new Windows installations.. is having to install a massive amount of Windows Updates just to get it up to date.

Hmm...
I just realized that Windows 3.x allowed the user to select a DPI setting as part of a display resolution setting.
Apparently, after over two decades, still, nobody but Microsoft cared much about Windows desktop DPI scaling *sweatdrop*

I just found out today that my Lumia 520 got the Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update to it! Finally a way to close apps properly without having to constantly scroll back with the back button.

Liking GDR3 + Black? You'll love this leak, then.
(What the heck is iCloud integration doing there?!)

That's interesting! I winner why Microsoft is allowing for iCloud integration. It'd beinteresting to see Apple open up like that though.

This has to be the oddest piece of news I've heard coming yet. Android apps on Windows without doing much else?

They're trying to increase the available apps and hopefully get people to convert... I'm not sure how successful they'll be. :/

Hmm, that seems a little intriguing.. hopefully though Microsoft doesn't decide to build off of Android because they've done just as fine with Windows Phone OS, IMO.

Yes but the app store is severely lacking and that's what's killing them with market penetration.

It's used to describe syntax of programming languages. I mean, if now nobody knows what I'm talking about, then the question I'll ask will probably be gibberish to y'all anyways.

It'll probably employ some sort of emulation in the vein of what WINE does for Macs and Linux distros. I think Microsoft will be fine.
Not fluent in it at all.

Sometimes if there's too technical of a topic, it might get overlooked. It happens every now and then, unfortunately....I'm still here. Anybody?

Does Microsoft have an SDK of sorts for developers or developer fees to upload apps? Honestly, I don't see why people aren't developing for Windows Phone OS.. it's just as powerful as iOS and Android, even though it may not be as popular as the former two.
Honestly I think it's just that Apple and Android are too dominant in the handheld department at the moment for Windows to break through.

You know, I'd probably hate having to choose between either of these. I prefer the balanced compromise with Windows Phone, to be honest.

I really wish more people developed for Windows Phone, like really. One (official) app I'd like to see on the Windows Phone app store is Dropbox.. all I've seen so far for Dropbox is just a bunch of knock-off apps that aren't official.
