• But which coffin? This probably says more about Microsoft Store than UWP.

#3 BingJacked: The sequel?

• Windows Search is down for many this morning. It's back now (but you probably need a reboot or 3)

Microsoft at MWC

• Microsoft will show off some stuff at MWC, but nothing like last year. Looks like Paul is staying home.
