Is OP upset that its not an upgrade to 920 or just complaining about Windows Phones?  And what is a custom field?

I don't get it either. Most folks in the tech blogs I read think its a pretty good phone and the camera is excellent. As for custom fields, there is a large set of stock fields in the people hub plus you can add anything you want in a note field. 

I was going to recommend discountasp.net also, but it did not figure into his requirements. They are who I use for all my domains. They're not necessarily cheap, but they are dependable, their tech support is responsive and you really get what you pay for.

I kind of like the CLASSPATH and PATH approach if it enables me to keep from having multiple copies of assemblies across the system. But maybe that convenience breaks down as each app is built against a different version of the same named assembly.

But isn't that the purpose of the GAC? CLASSPATH is not necessarily global to the system. When executing a Java application you can specify CLASSPATH to point to a particular location. Also by using strong assembly naming in .Net you can have multiple copies of the same assembly (by file name) on a system and the .Net runtime will bind to the correct one by version.

Microsoft is not good at consumer devices, but that's not the relevant lens to view the company," he said.

Apparently this Ubben character never heard of Xbox. The idea that by purchasing  < 1% stake in a Microsoft allows him to steer its course is laughable.

@cbae: Same here. My music workstation is still on W7, but that's it.

The one major caveat I see with this is battery life. I find smartphone battery life barely tolerable as it is.

Interesting. What phone to you have? I can go all day with my 920, get home and still have half a charge on my battery.

• Copy/Pasting Files using the RDP Client (Desktop) without sharing a drive.

This is a feature of Windows 7 also.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't stand having something like a watch strapped around my wrist. My phone supplies all the functionality that any smart watch could possibly bring to the table.

 and RT IE is still too fiddly (why do I have to hold-down for 5 seconds to open a link in a new tab when iOS only needs 2?).

I don't know why you have to hold it down for 5 seconds either. I just tested this on my RT and it brings up the context menu to open in a new tab in about 2 seconds.
