Hi Everyone,
I totally agree Microsoft is a Pioneer in OS i.e Windows. It was having a stable Windows XP/7 Operating System. But in recent years they came up with the Metro
Design that is Windows 8(Windows RT), the people started moving away from Windows as it was a bit confusing to use and of course nothing much to explore probably
because of less applications in the store. I feel the Win 8/8.1 looks OK with the tablet but didn't see this in many hands.
Similarly the Windows phone, the phone looks cool in the first sight and after buying it people may feel that there is nothing much to explore and everything kept
very simple, very less number of applications in the Windows Phone Store too.
I think the users are somewhat OK with Windows Phone but not at all with Windows Metro Desktop.
Last year it came with up with Windows Universal concept in Windows 8.1 where a developer using VS 2013 we can develop Single application for both Phone and Desktop/Tablet.
The Windows Phone Silverlight took off and Windows Phone RT came into picture to keep common set of libraries for both. But I see people still
comfortably using Windows Phone 8 for development as it has powerful set of libraries and they don't have plan to port it to Desktop Metro.
Again this year Microsoft announced the release of Windows 10 where with respect to development one application without any modification runs on phone and
dektop/tab and with respect to user the Metro Template in Windows 10 has put into a small corner and the Windows 7 kind of look and feel is back.
So my question is if they are reducing the Windows Metro look and feel in Windows 10 why they are providing so much updates for Universal App Development and
cutting off the updates for Non Metro application development.
Please take this upfront in the forum and experts can give suggestions for the Windows Phone/Metro/Desktop(Non Metro) Developer what is our future and give us
the right way to enhance. And also let the users know what they can expect from Windows Phone/Desktop in future.
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Thanks,
