I miss that era of Microsoft.
Cortana being insanely fun to use, Windows Phone existing, the future looking pretty cool.
Then Microsoft Microsoft-ed so hard they had to end it all
Is this missing a /s? I genuinely can't tell. All I can remember from that era was people shitting on them for windows 8.
Metro was genius on Windows Phone. Not so much on Windows 8.
What was even worse than Metro on Windows 8 was Metro on Windows 2008. OMFG.. the amount nervous breakdowns I've had when remoting a server in a window, trying to click the pixel in the bottom left corner to access the start menu.
No /s. Genuine love for Metro on Windows Phone.
There is still .NET which is best microsoft-made thing in existence IMO. And it's open source.
