Keynote with Kevin Gallo

The Discussion

• 

  The most boring Microsoft conference that I ever seen. Nothing new - only repetitions.

  All stuff was already presented on at least 4 other conferences. The last part is not worth watching.

• 

  The audio is out of sync!

• 

  So some still develop for Microsoft platform(s)?

• 

  The audio is out of sync!

   

  People in MS can't even record a video properly...

• 

  I don't get it. Why should we start using UWP when we have WinForms & WPF?

  What is the future road map of WinForms, WPF and UWP?

  From what happened to Windows Phones & Mobile, I've lost the faith in Microsoft and I don't want to invest anymore in something that does not have solid & bold future vision from it's creators.

  At what is Microsoft focused on now? And for how long?

•

  exactly. Shocking how much Microsoft has lost relevance.  

• 

  Show like this I love before, but now after Microsoft show time after time that they hate UWP them self (give love to Android and iOS apps instead), and throw all interest for the Mobile in the trash, I just sitting thinking sadly "why bother about UWP any more" :( 
  Develop for VR, who will take the chance onthat, when they know that Microsoft suddenly stop talk about VR, when Google and Apple have won that battle to. "Who need another VR SDK maker, when we already have two other...").
  Not really sure what can bring back my passion for .Net programming now, since there is no longer MS Phone in Microsoft world.  Maybe instead I should use my time to say sorry to all my friend who bought phone with Windows Phone, and start use Groove, after they listened to me for advise. For sure I never ever going to recommend any MS software or hardware for my friends and in job situation, just to be the clown when MS give up.

  @PeterNowa @BlackTiger: Sorry about that. Working on a fix now. THANKS!

• 

  @PeterNowak: Thank you for letting us know, Peter! :) We are fixing it.

  @StNeykov:

  Why should we start using UWP when we have WinForms & WPF?

  • Because PC and 64bit processor are going to die in near future. You can make great apps with WinForms & WPF but if PC and 64bit processor dies then there is no point of creating it. 
  • With WinForms & WPF, you can only target PCs but with UWP and Xamarin we can create apps for Windows 10 (PC, Mobile, Xbox, Mixed Reality, IOT and feature Windows 10 devices), Android, IOS, Mac OS. 

  What is the future road map of WinForms, WPF and UWP?

  • Future roadmap of WinForms, WPF - We can convert WinForms & WPF to UWP :)
  • Future roadmap of UWP - Making it more powerful than WinForms & WPF

  At what is Microsoft focused on now? And for how long?

  As long as there is Windows 10 they will focus on UWP. That is, FOREVER

  acrylic material,Fluent ? interactive UI, ? wow you guy are real innovators, creating your own stupid codes names is not engineering. short bus much ? , it's not new just because you gave it a name, do you guy have an inclining how foolish you look, UWP is embarrassment , the fact you don't get reveals your true nature , Windows Division needs to get the out of the professional developers business, enough is enough, you fallen flatly on your faces year after years, it's hard work and your not up to the challenge, focus on creating a stable OS, your making a fool of yourselves now, it's a NO, it's been a NO, get a clue, It's clear now who the latest Sinofkite is, same position and needs to suffer the same result for his failing

• 

  Great news, great way for perfect UI.

  Thanks.

• 

  the only thing you've got right is that it's not a bridge to the future, it's a peer and your all about to walk off it together, like the heavens gate developers association, the whole and app should do one thing well, like find me a pie with authentic Italian ingredents, and yelp rating, now that is what I call useful, or like when I want to go back and look at restaurants I've been researching, I should be able to put my finger on that ASAP, now that useful, wow that great, did I tell you about my raspberry pie robot car, I did it so I could fit in and sound knowledgeable, lol ,complete utter failsvilles.

• 

  First step to fix MS should be to let Nadella go... And never return.

  PC will not die but will become irrelevant. People use computers to play games and browse the internet. That's it. So client OS doesn't really matter anymore.

  VR has no future. AR has some fun but... just fun.

  The future? There is no future for IT. We have reached the limit. It's like shark - there is no where to go. Our whole technocratic civilization reached the limit.
