Unlike most, you understand that just as a car's platform (its engine and transmission) determines how it will drive, regardless of what body the stylists stick on, it's a processor, operating system, and chipset that do the same for a computing device.

I'm proud of our record of ignoring fluff, rumors, and analyst proclamations in favor of uncovering the important information about devices' essential building blocks. WindowsForDevices was also ahead of its time in understanding the growing relevance of embedded computing.

Most of all, I appreciate your interest and support over the years.
