Dang, I really love Wunderlist. Hope MSFT only makes it better! I wish I could drop a list in it more easily. I use it as a shopping list.

#52US based headquarters cannot transfer money from foreign sister companies back to US without paying tax, so they buy foreign companies. Wunderlist seems like one of many todo list apps: https://www.wunderlist.com/
Offtopic: Speaking about Microsoft, I just noticed a "Windows 10" advertisement in my Windows 7 taskbar next to the clock. Windows update silently installs and launches new applications (two executable) and one of them comes with enabled Telemetry. 23MB big ad-program is located in C:\Windows\System32\GWX\. Check your Windows 7/8 taskbar. Source: http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/31/microsoft-starts-prompting... https:/…
I wouldn't really call it an "ad" in the revenue generating sense.
They are notifying you that you can get Windows 10 for free. This program lets you do that in a couple clicks and is very convenient.

#53Wunderlist is integral to our companies business processes and it was a fight to get everyone moved onto it, I can only hope Microsoft has a hands off approach to the app and continues to let them create a best in class application.

#54When they integrate it into OneNote, they can rename it OneDerlist.

#55Earlier quoted context omitted.
As a Windows user with an iPhone I am very happy that they are bringing Cortana to iOS. I like unifying my environment, but I don't want to buy a new device to do that.
Given the shitty experience I've been having with OneCloud on OS X, or with Office on Android, I kind of doubt that the experience will be any good.
Do you actually use OneCloud on OSX and the mini office on Android?
I find OneCloud to be very smooth: I only have a 128GB SSD drive on my old MacBook Air and the selective sync lets me keep most of my videos, pictures, backups, etc. offline.
I don't use Office on the Android too much, but it seems OK enough.
BTW, I went with Office 365 as a price/cost decision. For $99/year my wife and I both get 1 TB of cloud storage, and if we want them the latest office suite. We both just use the web versions of the Office 365 apps on out MacBook Airs though.
EDIT: a bonus: the web based Office 365 apps are very useful on my Linux laptop - I stopped using Libre Office.

#56Everytime I run into the WSJ paywall I want to throw things. Yes it is easy to get around but no we shouldn't have to. Because advertising.
Anyway does anyone know approximately how many users this app had? Seems like a pretty rich valuation for a to-do list app.

#57It would be nice if this results in the Pro features becoming free.
How would it be run as a sustainable business then? Sorry, but I really fail to understand how we can expect quality for free. Free means that it's either run as a hobby (you shouldn't make it part of your workflow as it might disappear one day) or run on ads (lower quality by implication).
Why not support your favourite apps by paying a little so the good folk can continue working on it!

#58Congrats to the Wunderlist team. And oh crap, one of my favorite startup quotes was "Nobody got rich making a Todo list App." That is in danger of being falsified :-) It is interesting to consider Microsoft's putative strategy here which is that the mobile "OS" is still searching for the right mix of capabilities to completely replace laptops.
I'm really interested to see what their plan is after also acquiring Sunrise recently. It seems like they're not actually changing these services much, and I'm fascinated to see how they actually integrate them with their businesses.
In outlook desktop, the navigation options are: Mail, Calendar, People, Tasks, Notes, Folders, Shortcuts.
They just bought a Mail, Calendar, and Tasks app. They have OneNote, and Folders and Shortcuts don't translate into apps. Looks like they still need a People app to manage contacts better.

Tell that to Asana.
