I would have liked to have seen how the Windows Phone marketplace stacked up against the other two, and how much better (or worse) it is in those categories.
I think all of the gripes in this article are based around the Metro UI, which was designed to be touch-friendly at its core. Pretty much every single point in this article becomes moot if you actually use the standard Windows desktop.
I think what a lot of people are assuming is that you have to use this new Metro UI exclusively, and the truth is, you don't. If you just treat it as a glorified start menu instead of a replacement to the Windows desktop, suddenly it becomes a lot less scary.
Honest feedback: The UI is extremely confusing, the whole site needs to be proofread for spelling/grammar, and the name doesn't really describe or even hint at what the product does.
It's a really good idea in concept, but the execution could have been much better.
I had the same question. It's a shame that the site doesn't have any additional information or links.
I'm also hesitant about the price... for $10 a month this service should support a large variety of languages and offer a lot of in-depth questions for each language. I can get the same knowledge elsewhere for free, so if I'm going to pay for this, it should be worth it.
I'm going to be honest here for a moment. I agreed with everything you said, but the disorganized, grammatically-incorrect manner in which you delivered it made it harder to read and understand. Slang writing doesn't get a point across as well as a well-structured, creative sentence with a vibrant vocabulary.
So basically... it's like the Windows 7 start menu search functionality, put into applications. It's not a terrible idea, but it should extend the current menu-based UI, not replace it.
sigh...
