Passing through the airport yesterday I got a look at Microsoft's new
marketing push for Windows 8.  The droids there had never heard of Gorilla
Arm ( http://catb.org/jargon/html/G/gorilla-arm.html ) and could tell me
nothing at all about developing for it. They claimed that development tools
would debut some time in January. Microsoft appears to have abandoned its
interest in corporate computing and tried to position windows solely as a
content delivery service.  Baffling.
