--------------------- The tablet is just in the incubation phase right now from the developer POV. We have the old way we have done things and a brand new tool that may have us doing the same tasks in a whole new way. On this list that would NEVER EVER happen/work. I consider the phrase less is more with handheld computers, phone to tablet in size. There will be much greater design implications over the next couple of years. How do I present the necessary info through my GUI so the user can accomplish what they need. Will images be the presentation medium replacing grids/tables/text boxes? Will there be scenarios defined that prefetch for the user instead of waiting on the user to INPUT? This month there have been a few to many people at M$ who have left for other opportunities. YAG is one of many. Why the sudden exodus? Internal pressure, direction that goes against the individual, failure for the corp to see the trends, etc.? I laugh when this list talks about M$ changing the direction and stranding .NET developers in things like Silverlight. From a group that codes in VFP that is. Many of us would like to see Ballmer step down. He is too old school and M$ needs to get adaptive. Stop the multi-version crap for the OS. Focus on one that works everywhere PLEASE. -- Stephen Russell 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMYJ7yo+J8psDMpkncL9bNsNW599DseDgep1D=opdagh...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
