Casual Game Developer: "Windows 8 Is Everything My iPad Isn't"

It’s both a consumption device and a creation device. Although the iPad is trying hard to market itself as a creation device, it just isn’t.

Bigpappy5024d ago

My daughter is very excited about windows 8. She is a big Apple fan. I am now begining to learn about it. This guy make a lot of sense. I will try and see what I can learn about the hardware coming, and the software features. Sounds like it could be a big win for M$. I already see a lot of clearing out of current PC of all kinds and brands. They are being heavily dicounted.

Lol, Splashtop app will turn your iPad or iPhone into whatever Windows version you want it to.

Wouldn't the real thing be Better, that would be like me who is catholic want to convert to judaism , i could do it but i still won't be considered a full fledged person of judaism belief or excepted by the comunity.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr35024d ago

I guess you've never used the Splashtop app before. As far as wanting the real thing, I was speaking of somone who may have an iPad and wanting to run Windows but not wanting to pay an arm and leg for a new device when they can just pay a few dollars for an app that virutally does the same thing :)

"Wouldn't the real thing be Better, that would be like me who is catholic want to convert to judaism"

You do realise Jesus (the basis of all christianity religions) was born a Jew and then converted/founded Chrisitianity?

Windows 95 is everything my iPad isn't. iOS is an extremely limited operating system.

Godmars2905024d ago

Yeah, really have to wonder how something working on a more expansive and powerful platform can't be better than something on a limited and weaker one.

Xof5024d ago

I'm not sure what you're saying.

You seem to be implying that the iPad isn't powerful enough to run Windows 95.

Which... is... ridiculous. iOS is way, way more demanding than Win95. Hell, it's probably more demanding than XP.

Win95 only needs 4MB of memory to run.

Jdoki5024d ago

How bizarre! The guy whose business model is based on Flash games prefers the tablet that supports that platform!!

dubt725024d ago

The games on Windows 8 won't be flash, though, so not really.

OC_MurphysLaw5024d ago

I for one am really excited over the Surface Pro model. I mean to be able to run a full Windows 8 OS on my tablet? It really is the ultimate laptop in that regard. I just hope they come out aggressive on their pricing to really compete in the market.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing73d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9273d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit73d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing73d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9273d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
