I just wish that Windows would install app updates automatically.

It's not an update. It's an apology and a nice one at that.
I am getting the feeling that these are all changes that had been made but kept out of the main trunk by Sinofsky. I just hope that MS doesn't backtrack too much; Windows 8 is fantastic on tablets.

Ha, that's neat. Way too much time on their hands.

It's not acceptable because that's not the way the paying world works. They want the <asp:TextBox>, and the <form> to wrap around an entire page.
(isPost), what is that? Why can't I just do an async call and handle my callback?Seriously it's depressing to get an interview for a Senior Developer position, and when they ask "What happens on page postback?", and I say "Unfortunately I don't write in that manner" and I hear "Oh, um, hmm, well that's how you do it in .NET"
I feel like I'm losing my mind, I KNOW I'm Senior/Lead material, I just don't use it the "legacy", way (before jQuery came along and made everyone's life easier)?
Well, IMO a senior ASP.NET developer should know all about postbacks and the page lifecycle. He doesn't have to use them in his web site, but he should know about them. Most dev work is maintaining existing sites. What happens if you need to modify a page that uses postbacks and the horribly confusing way that ASP.NET handles callbacks? You can't just rewrite the entire page to use jQuery. What if there's a requirement that the site work without JavaScript?

Although I suppose it all comes down to what you define a service pack to be, Windows 8.1 isn't a service pack. They're going to completely refresh the OS and flatten the entire Windows directory. There's changes everywhere from Windows Explorer to IE to compiler improvements to new syscalls - at least going by the leaked build.
It might "feel" like a service pack, but it really isn't. It's an entirely new OS whose UI is pretty much the same with presumably a transparent upgrade path.
Wow, really? It's surprising that MS would make all of those under-the-hood moves in a minor version update.

@Cybermagellan: Yeah, Web Forms makes things a lot harder than they need to be. Try to approach things from a WinForms perspective and it might make more sense.
To help ease the transition, remember that you can add runat="server" to any HTML control and it will be available in the code-behind for you to work with.

Wow, Android has 3/4 of the market. I knew they were selling well, but that still surprises me.

50/50 is just the default split, the snapping is actually arbitrary in blue, you can drag the splitter anywhere between, the only limit is just a minimal width of app.
so, yes, the docked snap view is supported on 1024x768
Really? That's pretty nice. I hope the dev will have control over what resolution triggers the switch to snapped mode in the UI.
