Bit of a bugger I liked that Twitter Client, can anyone suggest a good desktop alternative?

gehenna: What it really shows is that not many people are interested in development for Windows outside the commercial space.
It's a bit sad, because the windows tablets are pretty good, but very poorly marketed towards the consumer. I mean they allow you to have split screen to run two apps at the same time, which is what samsungs selling point of difference is, but most people wouldn't know windows tablets can do that too. So you can use twitter while watching a video. Don't think apple tablets can do that.
stuzz: It is the only desktop client that I use.
It's still working at the moment and I'll use it till it stops. A real pity.

mattwnz: People who use windows rt are pretty stuck, because a tablet without twitter is a bit of a paperweight. You would think Microsoft would create some software.

"If you’re a current MetroTwit user, we apologise for the inconvenience but don’t worry, the apps you love to use will continue to work. However, we will not be supporting the app or releasing any major new features and updates."
I use it as well and prefer it over Tweetdeck and others.
They really seem to be making Twitter a mobile only communications platform.

Apple tablets definitely can't do that
Windows is a proper powerful OS not a blown up phone onto a tablet
