I want to just kick a parenthesis here. This thread called my attention because yesterday I just went through the passage
"Kinect’s remarkable gestural interface, for example, makes clear that Microsoft no longer insists its customers master multimedia, multiplayer complexity. Microsoft instead asks customers to become people who see their entire body as a user inter- face. Kinect is the kinesthetic antithesis to Windows. As of this writ- ing, the company’s mainstream management isn’t quite sure what to do with it. For example, should Microsoft’s leadership bring that kines- thetic innovator’s ask to the enterprise workplace?" >From Who do You Want Your Customers to Become? Michael Schrage Harvard Business Review Press, Boston, Massachusetts. It seems that this may cause awareness that MSFT shifts from multimedia complexities, or device, to a touch—human aspect as being the actual OS experience. m On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 12:59 PM, Mark Finkle <mark.fin...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 08/02/2012 09:32 AM, Gervase Markham wrote: >> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/07/12/ie10-user-agent-string-update.aspx >> >> IE10 has introduced the Touch token to the UA string, which overlaps in >> intent with our Tablet token. >> >> Dao suggests it would be nice to get cross-browser consistency here. >> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773355 >> >> This makes some sense to me.
