    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Haha, the windows store developer community is now in panic mode. Everyone just got a message saying "your account is about to be canceled..." Any attempt at contacting support is throwing an error. When people take these issues to the Microsoft forum, the only responses from MS employees are...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    You should see what's been going on on the developer side. It's becoming a monthly thing where the download stats breaks. While this is only a hobby for me, some people make a living with this, and it's screwing with their livelihood. Anyway, the update is in the store. Go into store. Bring up...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    I just checked. It's not in the store yet. It's particularly slow today. Last time I updated, it was in the store within an hour. Today, it took them some 6 hours and it's still not in there. Just wait till tomorrow I guess.

    I just sent out a major update to my Modern Word. Should be available to download in a couple hours. Here are some things included in this update. Paragraph alignments and line/paragraph spacings are now retained in saved files doc, docx, and rtf. Before, these elements were lost every time...

    MS on its way back to the top of the food chain

    Last week, almost all republicans favored net neutrality. Then President Obama voiced his support for net neutrality, and now all of a sudden republicans are crying bloody murder about net neutrality. It's quite amusing to watch it from this side of the border. Just a week ago, almost...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    OH MY GOD! If anyone remembered, a couple months ago I said I'd been working on a way to export the document to pdf. There's no inbuilt api or any 3rd party software to do this. So, I've been working on this for months now. See, I don't want to use an online service for this. This is the...

    Modern Word Processor Discussion Thread

    Well, since our last conversation, I moved the global settings button to the charms bar. Today, I've been exchanging emails with this user about this. He doesn't know how to bring out the charms to get to the global settings. I've sent him step by step instructions 6 times already to move the...

    Microsoft In Store Classes

    I use both interfaces fluidly, and I'm 30. I'm sure the younger generation will not even think there is a difference between desktop and modern interfaces.

    If Microsoft wants the Windows Store to succeed, why don't they invest $500 million into it

    Well... I don't see how such a program could work with apps that are more complicated than giving the 12 year old user fart noises. For starter, the api's are set up differently between the platforms.

    News of RT's death has been greatly exaggerated....

    I keep hearing this, but I don't see it. Most businesses are not tech oriented. They just want to stick with what they know, and what they know are all x86 apps.

    News of RT's death has been greatly exaggerated....

    Sorry to burst your bubble, guys, but rt will never catch on in the corporate world. There are simply too many in-house x86 software still floating around. This is one reason I gave my nephew my rt surface and bought a $120 atom tablet.

    What do you do with the keyboard when using Surface as a tablet?

    True story. When the iPad first came out, my sister bought it for her husband. One time I was on the phone with my sister and she was telling me how her husband was on that iPad all the time when I heard her scream "Derek, NO!" and then a loud crashing noise. Her 4 year old used it as a Frisbee.

    New product announcement on the 30th?

    Actually, I'm not buying anything electronic right now. As much as I've been drooling over the surface pro 3, I'm also about to buy a house. Until after everything has gone smoothly, I can't really justify to myself for any new gadget.
