No. No More windows in "other things". they can barely write functioning OSs for beige boxes, and they've been doing that for 20 years. Im sick of seeing unattended machines (vending machines, ticket machines, product demo booths etc) with input as low as a single-button-keyboard with the BSOD on them.
I dont want gummy-windows on my phone and car and fridge. Im not interested in my fridge being able to seamlessly connect with the wider world of windows to get me some vendor driven, DRM-protected content. I just want it to keep food cold. I dont want my coffee table giving me sass about what I leave on it. Im really not interested in every single piece of inanimate furniture in my house being chipped and screened and interactive.
and to the MS-intern-clone : youre not putting ideas onto a table, you're sacrificing them to a dark god. if you're working on something "uninvented" it means MSs legal team told your boss they can get away with screwing someone elses copyright. as for star wars intercoms, whats next? Old Bill is going to be a fuzzy blue figure that talks to us disembodied from space?
"Luke, use explorer... " I hope not. otherwise its Steve Jobs and Linus at the end going "I am your father".... then I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming.
Its 6am. what was I talking about?
