The Most UnGRANDtastical Events to Never Occur
Welcome to my blog. This is just a place for me to express my interest in some of the things I enjoy such as Windows Phone and music, as well as many other things. Or to express my opinions about equality and human rights. Anything on this blog is of my sole opinion and no one else. Thanks for visiting.

Compromising On "No Compromises"
Tom Warren on Office 2013 RT for Windows RT (which sounds as ridiculous as “C++ for You++”):
To optimize for Windows RT, Microsoft has made the decision to remove a number of features from its Office 2013 RT release to ensure battery life and reliability are not impacted on tablet devices.
Windows chief Steven Sinofsky, a year ago talking about designing for Metro (a codename all along, we swear):
Our design goal was clear: no compromises.
He’s technically making the argument as to why Microsoft decided to include the don’t-call-it-Metro component alongside the more traditional desktop component in Windows 8. But isn’t it a little odd that Microsoft is so adamant about “no compromises” (he goes on to say it four more times, with exclamation marks!) and yet, with WIndows RT, it seems to be all about compromises?
For good measure, Sinofsky further down:
Windows 8 brings together all the power and flexibility you have in your PC today with the ability to immerse yourself in a Metro style experience. You don’t have to compromise!
Right. Unless you buy a Surface or any of the other ARM-based tablets. Then you will have to compromise!
I continue to believe this is going to be a giant mindfuck of confusion for consumers.
Windows 8 and Windows RT are not the same OS. They have similarities and share the same core, same for Windows Phone. However, they are all separate operating systems. Microsoft execs always said, Windows 8 is the no compromise OS.

What the windows logo now represents.
Blue - Represents PC & Tablet. Here we see every device being synced to, whether it be the smallest device to a powerhouse maintaining servers.Yellow - Represents Office. Productivity being streamlined to the business sector from entrepreneur to the largest sector of a market. It also represents Developers on the programming side. No matter if it’s HTML5, C++ or Silverlight. Apps will work across all three devices in the MS ecosystem. Finally the future with cloud storage with skydrive.
Red - Represents Windows Phone. Quick and glance, always on the go. Staying connected from our social lives. The phone works and learns from us never working for it.
Green - Xbox and Live. Entertainment, gaming and interaction. In the living room, the main hub on the big screen the access from television, movies, music and games.
Metro is everywhere, simple and elegant and I love everything about it.
