The problem with your reasoning...Great post Bashar. The problem with your reasoning is that MS have truly distant themselves from their roots. While MS is known for Windows and Office, what really made MS such a compelling "platform" is developers like you. You could argue that .NET is the most powerful development platform on the market and you would be right. But .NET and its related technologies is truly made for the "corporate" developer rather than the freelancing/armature developer that flourished upto VB6.<br />Such corporate developers are working in big teams for companies that have marketing departments to market their application.<br />What about those VB6 developers?? mostly they were left high and dry.<br />Now we have school kids creating Apps for 1$ while us .NET developers are scratching our heads and wondering…what is going on ???Omar Shraimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12709049821832420454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667995121332629229.post-83868857620286301182010-10-16T22:52:46.066+03:002010-10-16T22:52:46.066+03:00Hi bashar,
Thanks for sharing such interesting in...Hi bashar,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing such interesting info, but to be clear here i checked the links and as usual in Microsoft internet products nothing quite interesting here.<br /><br /> But come on this is not even 10% of App store for the following reason:<br />1- Mainly it sells only Microsoft Products.<br />2- It sells PrePackaged products from Large Companies such as Nero.<br />3- The idea of App Store is to involve the Developer more and more, as a direct vendor<br />3- How the @#@! i can add my product to Windows App store ??<br /><br />Thanks,Moutasem al-awahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348151060027242776noreply@blogger.com
