@simonwoods @odd Clearly, shots fired. At any rate, a strategy that bears watching!

@odd It’s really interesting to examine. Microsoft’s bread and butter is recurring subscriptions and licensing, so their store is potentially a loss leader with an eye to increase market share. Compared to Apple, where the App Store is truly a business.

I think it’s particularly interesting how Microsoft is telling it’s story now. They are moving into philosophical space that Apple has traditionally occupied.

@hjalm Well, it was two. I regret nothing.

@jean happy birthday!

@jakelacaze Brilliant! Best wishes for an excellent day!

@jakelacaze My sincerest sympathy! Hope your day is much better by now!

@twelvety I’m up to about six fingers and I’m 52. Problems started early for me because of a hideous plastic toy typewriter and I never really recovered. I took a keyboarding class in college and passed at 35 WPM. Instructor couldn’t believe I pulled it off.

@JohnPhilpin Have they done anything to improve Tumblr?

@odd I read through the thread as well, but I saw myself in it, so I’m owning it.

@gr36 Me, too. My MacBook Air is hardly a year old and already excluded from some features. The new hardware underpins some features, and they aren’t deal breakers, but I know that full support of Intel Macs won’t be long-lived.
