This is especially bad in Wolfram Alpha.... I can clearly see that all parts of a query are supported but I have to get the NLP part to parse my sentences right. Though there is Mathematica I guess....
Not that I dislike all natural language stuff (far from it) but I'd love to have access to an AST builder too
For example, I exclusively use Siri to set reminders for times and places, because to do so using a typical touch interface is much more painful.
Whether or not this CAP idea will meet the bar is an open question for me.
I use keyboard and mouse for setting reminders. The app I really miss now I don't have a smartphone is google maps.
you would also need the editor to know to display a separate implementation file for each paragraph.
MS, you're competing with a product called "IFTTT". Don't think so lowly of yourself!
An acronym/initialism is better if it can be pronounced like a word. CAP is one of them, and thus I feel it's better than IFTTT even though IFTTT's full name makes more sense and is 'good'.

And this is why I went from Windows Phone 8 to Android. The Microsoft experience on Android is arguably better than on their own OS.
Instead they went with Java and got sued by Oracle for it, whereas MS open sourced it all.
* Yes I know parts of .NET are still closed source/proprietary.
And as for the toolchain, I can't speak for mobile development in particular. But generally speaking, VStudio smacks Eclipse silly.
... At least they are consistent over time. Reminds me of this parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUXnJraKM3k
I attempted to make a couple of tasks, so far it's very limited, but kudos to getting the framework going.
'available to you as and Android app on Google Play Store'
Should be
'available to you as an Android app on Google Play Store'
It makes me wonder if this is actually a Microsoft project.
Case in point here is naming Pocket App on the homepage prominently. It gives on impression that Pocket is some big successful app but in reality has merely 22M users (active users must be lot lower).
I hope I am right to assume that MS has nothing to do with Pocket app.
Ability to turn my Xbox One on from a programmable button would be great, considering the Xbox Live team took Wake On Lan and turned it into something requiring a Microsoft-signed cert...

Why would they choose a name that they think is so bad?
This is a bit off-topic from the CAP thing, where I think it's reasonable assume that you are at a computer.
Whether or not a name like IFTTT is awkward, and therefore bad in some sense, is subjective. Personally I happen to like the awkwardness.
Or an emulator as good as what Microsoft created for Android.
I really don't know what all those PhDs are doing in Mountain View, code review from offshored work?!
I think however that this may be one of those cases when perception is stronger than reality: perception of what Microsoft is and what Java is.
Personally I never use it because it can sound far too close to "ass" especially through low-fidelity channels.
It's definitely a noun, but the kind of noun that only annoying business people use.

There's also a standard for CLI (Common Language Infrastructure), which is the underpinning of the .NET platform:

So does Google, so does Apple and so does Samsung. If you don't protect your rights they will be taken away. The mobile market is in a state of mutually assured destruction. The fault lies with our broken patent system and all the players in that market: not Microsoft alone.
