You seem to think the university systems were specifically created to educate people in a chosen field so they may join the workforce.

There was a time not so long ago when people went to college/university to become well rounded in many areas so then they could determine what their interests were.

What about sharing their rejected app with friends and family?

Metro on the desktop is fine if it is run as an app and has a dedicated monitor. :-) The desktop in Win8 should be full featured with Metro as an option. I can see Metro being used for kiosks maybe

Typical MS coming out with something totally new is that it always feels half baked. There is a reason why many people believe MS doesn't get things right until (at least) the third version.

Metro on the phones and tablets is another discussion entirely.

and first impressions.

It is a case of Form over function vs. Function over form

This is one of the reasons I left Sprint. I gave them two years (bought an EVO 4G the day they came out) and they did nothing but change for the worse.

It was like like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. Well I'm no Charlie Brown, you can only yank the ball away from me once ... maybe twice. ;-)

Agreed. One party with two marketing campaigns.

Uh no. I am sure the MS plan is to get SBS customers to migrate to their online/cloud version of SBS ...Office 365.

Yes, people with jobs. Jobs in corporations, government, education, etc. Communications in the business world are not conducted via FB messages/IM and SMS. You may think email is quickly dying but I can assure you it is not. Don't let your personal/social life perspective mislead you.

Let the consumer decide. Provide each customer with bundle and a la carte options. That way they know what each channel costs and can choose accordingly. It isn't like the technology doesn't exist to offer this. We canceled cable/sattelite almost a year ago. Services like Netflix and Hulu+ along with the Internet are just fine for our needs.

People and corporations ned to be accountable. No more hiding behind a corporate identity. The fact is corporations are made up of people. People making decisions and people taking actions. The people that made the decision to break the law as well as those that did the law breaking should do jail time. The corporation should also be significantly punished (most likely monetary).

It is stuff like this that makes it obvious the US is run by one party with two marketing departments.

How about resolving all requests to the IP of a web server with a single page explaining the issue to them?

and THIS!
