Just making some noise, never heard of him before..good luck to him. I’m interested to know how Microsoft can stay so big with the cloud being so dominant and the desktop for consumers being less important. Having installed software is becoming less important...I have been a Microsoft person

Once loaded into a .net string, it is Unicode. So then the encoding stated in the Xml preamble (UTF-8) is then wrong. By passing a stream to the XmlDocument (directly, or via XmlTextReader(stream)) then the Encoding associated with the stream (which is sniffed from the BOM) is passed as well.

Consumer makes up just 4% of Microsoft’s revenue. Regardless of what happens, I think we’ll be okay. :) From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of anthonyatsmall...@mail.com Sent: Wednesday, February 5, 2014 4:32 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: Today

Once loaded into a .net string, it is Unicode. [cut] That's the rub, but it's so obvious you can forget it. The problem exists in the reverse direction because you will see countless people in web searches asking why is my saved XML coming out as UTF-16?. It turns out they're using a

Only 4% in revenue directly, sure, but contributes far more in ubiquity and product familiarity with an inevitable and substantial knock-on effect to enterprise. From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of David Kean Sent: Thursday, 6 February 2014

The 4% seems remarkably low – according to MSFT’s last annual report 65% of the Windows BG’s revenue comes from OEMs, and assuming 50% of that is destined for consumers, that’s already $6bn (out of $78bn). Add in revenue from Entertainment GB (Xbox etc.), plus, some dribs and drabs from other

I read about 8-10 “IT press” articles about Nadella yesterday, and a few are looking for the controversy – usual for any media reporting, I suppose. Additionally, it’s ramping up significantly in areas that Anthony identified as “the future” (e.g. cloud-based products/services) As I read it,

Scott, you're so burnt and twisted man. You need to see someone. Got a good therapist or is that why we are here? ;) Perhaps Microsoft can organise something with those two, similar to how Apple did. I'm not insinuating Steve's departure involved any foul play... Just saying... On Thu, Feb 6,
