Do I have to pay for Word/Excel/OneNote on x64 Win8? Typically yes, but, seeing WOA has it build-in, do we get the same Office goodies on x64 version? If I have to pay, I will just buy WOA and hook it up to my monitor. Eventually I will just game on WinRT, so, less games is not an issue for me.

You will sign in the same way. You will start and launch apps the same way. You will use the new Windows Store the same way. You will have access to the intrinsic capabilities of Windows, from the new Start screen and Metro style apps and Internet Explorer, to peripherals, and if you wish, the Windows desktop with tools like Windows File Explorer and desktop Internet Explorer. It will have the same fast and fluid experience. In other words, we've designed WOA to look and feel just like you would expect. WOA enables creativity in PC design that, in combination with newly architected features of the OS, will bring to customers new no-compromise experiences.

Just a spin-off from another threads. But, this is not about ARM and not about WOA.

I am just wondering, can I make a WinRT desktop app? To make this easy, can I make a WinRT desktop app on my x64 machine?

It sounds pretty cool, but, I want to know if it will be available when my contract ends (Dec 2012) or how many more months should I wait?

I really hope it has Screenshot and Offline Bing Map features though.

It is kinda sad that WinPhone/WinMo as a whole is losing market share still, but, I still want to support WinPh with my $$$. Hope MS keep working at it, so, I can show my phone like it is an famous LV bag.

As Mary Jo Foley said yesterday, I can confirm now that Ascentium (the company I work for) and Microsoft have made a deal, turning over Commerce Server customers, code and rights to Ascentium. 

Ascentium is a digital marketing company which purchased Cactus Commerce, this summer.  Cactus has been part of the product development for years now, gradually taking over more and more of the development activities, and will continue to support released versions, but Commerce Server 2009 R2 will be the final release of Commerce Server.

You may be interested in more information here:  http://blogs.forrester.com/brian_walker/11-11-11-microsoft_folds_its_hand_abandons_commerce_server_what_it_means.

I joined the Commerce Server product team at Cactus about a year and a half ago, and I assure you we are actively planning out the future of e-commerce platforms.

If anyone has any feedback or ideas about what they would like to see in the future e-commerce platform, I'm all ears.

I've got an HTC Trophy.  A few weeks ago I get the Mango update.  One thing that constantly confuses me, about the phone, is the missed call notification, on my live tile, on the start page, of my phone.  I've seen it, and even called the person back, but that notification is still there, so I check it several times a day, thinking the person has called again and I've missed another call, but am wrong about that.

So, how do I clear that?

Mac / Apple / iPhone / iPad

more and more i am less and less interested in what microsoft is doing when it comes to the desktop / tablet and phone.

this comes after decades of using and selling and developing with Microsoft software.

I have a gut feeling that windows 8 just may be the "Straw the broke the camels back" so to speak.

I am still holding out some hope but more and more it seems like all i hear about Microsoft is bad news....  Sad.

here is the project page on codeplex.com: http://kinectmultipoint.codeplex.com

My vbscript file can do one mouse just fine the problem is converting it to vb.net or c# anyone up to the challenge? Major kudos for completing this one as many people would benefit from the emulator source which because of dsf runtime limitations can only be used in non-commerical or educational settings.

I have started it in vb.net and the classes and types are the same in c++ so if someone has used in c++ before the methods are the same mostly with some changes but i just haven't fooled as much with it and have had this project going on for months.

p.s. you help me with this project and i will help you emulate your device in a project and explain what i do know to you about the emulator code. As the old saying goes: scratch my back and i will scratch yours.

There's now a white Lumia 800 and it's glossy. I prefer the non-glossy ones (especially the cyan) but I can see how a matte white phone would get very dirty so glossy was probably the best bet.

Do any of you use a keyboard with no numeric keypad? If so, can you recommend one?
I don't mind if they're laptop style keys, in fact I prefer them as long as they're not smaller than normal or have a weird layout.
Last night I was cleaning the inside of some sticky keys on my MS Arc wireless keyboard and I somehow broke the M key. When I put in the batteries it's stuck ON then if I press the M key it becomes completely dead.
Anyway...
It has never been the easiest thing to type on so I'd like to find something that's basically just a full sized keyboard with no numeric pad. I hate those keypads because they're exactly where the mouse should be if you're right handed.

I'm typing this on my HP Wireless MINI keyboard that I use on my WDTL Live + but it's netbook sized so I'm not going to use it for everyday typing.

I saw that IE 10 Metro won't have any plugin capabilities(e.g. no Flash/Silverlight). So does that mean when Metro is turned off and you're on a normal desktop there's a "normal" IE 10 that does do plugins?
