Microsoft's recently released platforms have slowly seen more support from major developers. "We can't even have a conversation with a CIO that doesn't include Windows." "You'd be stunned at how many CIOs and IT people in places like Kansas City say that whatever Microsoft ships is the only thing they'll consider," Levin said. The enterprise market, he said, is still dominated by Windows. Cross-platform HTML5 apps, he said, simply would result in a negative user experience.īox COO Dan Levin echoed Engberg's comments about not ignoring Microsoft platforms. Engberg emphasized that creating second-rate HTML5 apps instead of native apps was a recipe for disaster, implying that users will notice when companies don't put their full effort into an app's development.
