Look, I’m going to be that guy that doesn’t give a 100% positive review on the newest Microsoft toy, and its not that I hate its existence in favour of the iPhone (I honestly couldn’t care either choice), its for me a little bit of a disappointment.

When I first saw the early specs of [...]

Hold your hats folks, I’m about to praise Adobe and yes I’m now a confused UX soul as a result of it.
