I have the Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3 mobo running in my server with a Highpoint 2680 raid card. Works great.

Nice!  Definitely drool-worthy.

...Apple has taken an approach of one app for the tablet and phone which is a great solution, but MS has not demonstrated (at least to me) that it can do the same.


This is exactly what MS is doing, by providing a common OS across all platforms with Win8. Apple and MS just are going about it from opposite directions, but building from their strengths. Apple started from phone OS to tablet, building upon the iPhone platform. MS has to work from PC to tablet to phone, as the PC is where all of their developers are. RT apps will work on both Win 8 (PC/tablet) and RT (tablet) and easily ported to Win Phone8. When they launched Win Phone 7, they obviously did not have Win8 ready, but they HAD to enter the smartphone market. If they chose to wait until Win8 was ready, the additonal two years may have been too much to overcome.

They may change their mind once the Win8/Phone8 platform gains momentum.

It is a shame, because I love my Windows Phone. However I will admit that while the Marketplace does have 100,000+ apps and most of the top apps are present, many of the specialized apps have not shown any interest. I do not know what Epocrates does. Is there an alternative or possibly a third party app which utilizes their APIs?

Interesting. Thanks for the update. Have been too busy to look into this further. Disappointing that MSE still unsupported.
