Microsoft Planning on Losing the Hardware Back button on Windows Phone? Posted: 10 Oct 2013 10:45 AM PDT
Of course the back button is also used for multitasking in WP, as keeping it pressed brings up the app switcher; it’s unclear how this will work once the back button is gone (especially with the home button getting more functions such as double tapping if the rumors are true). The other major question is how will this affect the current generation of devices who already have this hardware key, and should be getting WP 8.1 *hopefully*? There’re still plenty of things that are unclear at the moment, but right now ditching the back button doesn’t seem to be the end of the world to me. Provided Microsoft find an elegant solution to navigating the OS that is.

Posted: 10 Oct 2013 09:13 AM PDT By the end of the year, Microsoft may appoint their new CEO. I believe they wanted a replacement for Ballmer initially within 12 months? In the running?
He declined to be considered but apparently MS approached eBay CEO John Donahoe. Things seem to have stalled whilst Ballmer is on the way out (like things weren’t slow enough already). Microsoft are urgently looking insert a new chief to get things going again. A new CEO is expected before Nokia deal closes Source: Bloomberg Via: TheVerge |
