Re: Metro UI, Windows 8, and WOA

SoftMaker isn't the only company complaining about the lack of C++ support for Windows Phone. Microsoft has recognized this and the rumor is that C++ support will be in the next release called Tango. http://www.liveside.net/2012/01/28/windows-phone-tango-will-support-120-languages-c-development-sup...

Re: Metro UI, Windows 8, and WOA

Don't hope for a Windows Phone version any time soon. Microsoft doesn't allow C++ applications to be built for Windows Phone.

Re: Metro UI, Windows 8, and WOA

The shabby thing that Microsoft is doing is only allowing MS Office and Internet Explorer to run on the classic desktop on ARM CPUs.

Re: Softmaker Office 2006 - language files

In SoftMaker Office 2006, only TextMaker was available in Hungarian, and I am not sure the setup program handled this correctly at all.
