I watched live the keynote of the Build event in San Francisco (Apple jealousy) organized by Microsoft, gathering 5000 developers from around the world, and obviously many more watching the event online.

The only feeling after the keynote is the disgusting taste that Microsoft has gone so far in nonsense that they are now purely and simply laughing at their audience.

They are a software company and they can't ship a stable SDK anymore. What they had to do is what Apple did with iOS, which is what Sun Java tried and failed (write once, run anywhere). If it is so hard to do the same, it is because the core design of Windows is simply wrong. I have enough of that.

They are trying to be a services company, but how can that be interesting to developers ? After all, Microsoft is teasing businesses and end users with services that they have built : everyone in the IT industry is getting cut out of the equation as a result. Their latest services is subpar : they demo'ed Cortana, and half of the demos were either ridicule or failed.

They are trying to a devices company but all they can come up is throw-away mobile devices that nobody out there wants to buy, that no developer wants to develop for and that cannot compete with what is available out there already.

Microsoft, it is time to get out of here, you are simply wasting my time. Do not try to court me, you will not get my money and my time. Go away Big Satan !
