Where Should Microsoft Focus Their Efforts?

Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 08:00 AM

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm heading down to Mobius this week, and it's always a good opportunity to meet with people at Microsoft and talk about the current and future state of the platform. I was thinking about the feedback I want to give them, and the way the Pocket PC works today, and I realized that my desire for improvement is focused more about improvement of current features rather than all-new features.

For instance, now that we have VGA screens and VGA video support with WMP 10 Mobile, two of my big "missing pieces" have been addressed. Other than better hardware (which is in the hands of the OEMs) my wish-list is now focused almost entirely on seeing current features/apps honed and enhanced, rather than brand-new features/apps, with things like:

- Better memory management on the device (cache size limit in PIE, etc.)
- Better reminder notification windows (I want to see the location of my appointment)
- Improved VGA GUI (I want to see smaller fonts EVERYWHERE on the device, not just in the data list window)
- ActiveSync (where to even start...?)

Do you feel the same way? Answer the survey and give me some feedback.
