Hopefully they're watching the browser stats that are accessing lds.org. Seems to me that would be more accurate then a survey.

You will love the Surface - really glad I got mine! The Windows Ecosystem is gaining some traction thanks to the retail success of Windows 8. I think we'll see some growth in the area of Win8 Phones as well.dkmortensen wrote:Is there any place for a survey or voting tool? I wonder whether it would help if the Church could see that thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of members use Windows phones already. And no doubt the Win RT platform will become the staggering force in the Desktop/Tablet scene in 6 months or less.
You guys are completely right that we're talking about reaching millions of end-users with the Windows RT platform. Then if Windows phone 7.5/7.7/8 is included in the apps (which shouldn't be too awfully hard if you plan for that from the beginning), you are literally looking at what is probably collectively the largest end-user footprint (given that people are using Windows 8 today and most all PC users probably will be no later than 3-4 years from now).
Regarding the comment about some PCs not being upgraded to W8, that is true. But they will eventually be replaced, and then comes Windows 8.

Also, I've noticed a few minor bugs in the LDS Gospel Library WP app, and the Mormon Channel WP app. Does anyone know whether further development is going to happen on those apps in their current state?

Anyway, I have a surface arriving by UPS tomorrow, my wife has a Lumia 900, I just sold my 900 & am getting a 920 in a week. I have plenty of local acquaintances using WP7.5. We love the platform. I am hoping it won't be long before my Surface will not feel like a second rate experience when it comes to church use.
Thanks all!!

I know that there have been no official announcements of product release dates, but I would draw the opposite conclusion. Certainly it's the case that products are not being released as fast as some people would hope, but that doesn't mean that nothing is happening.
