  2. That is one of the reasons I like Microsoft.
    They keep looking ahead. Keep trying to be better with better ideas.
    They put their money where their mouth is.
    I don't always like or need their new ideas but they do keep trying to be the best.

    manual installation!

    Signing up for the Developer Preview program (there is a free method) gives you access to the Preview for Developers app, which will allow you to install OS updates from Microsoft ahead of their normal release schedule.

    HTC app for Windows Phone 8.1 issue

    That's the point, it's not an official release yet, it's a developer preview. Your understanding of what that means is incorrect, the developer preview is not a full public release. Microsoft released a public beta of Windows 8, that doesn't mean that
    on release day of the beta you can expect every program to work perfectly.

    Most developers were probably waiting for the preview release to finalize their builds. Why release early when you can finish it up and make it perfect?

  6. I watched the complete video and my 3 brain cells have not be able to wrap around Quantum computing.
    I think, I'm glad Microsoft has put together a team to do such a thing as Quantum computing and possibly build a Quantum computer.
    I do wonder when built, how much heat a Quantum computer would produce and how much power it would consume.
    Of course, how big would such a computer be.

    My understanding of quantum computing is this:
    The difference between classical computing and Quantum computing, is the difference between possibility(classical- yes or no, absolute answer) and probability(Quantum-likelihood of something happening/working or a ratio to the whole number of cases possible)?

    Microsoft releases free preview of Quantum Development Kit

    How i get it is there is a fundamental difference between the bit and the Qbit, while a bit can only be 0 or 1, a Qbit can be both 0 and 1 (superposition). Now if you have 2 bits you can explore the outcome of 2 states (0 and 1) while with 2 Qbit 4 states and this grows exponentially with every Qbit you add so that where to solve a problem you need millions of cycles with a classical cpu you can solve it in one go (or a couple) with a Quantum computer( and all your password will be practically useless *Smile).
