Audio was very very quiet. I had to crank up both system and zune volume all the way to hear the speakers. You might want to relevel the audio stream.

First of all, nice glasses Lisa. It is good to have a new architect like Lucian in VB Team. It is great loss that Paul is moving away.

Still no iterators???
Do they live in 2003? C# had it since .Net 2.0.

Can't they just buy VB-to-C# converter and duct-tape it between VB and C# compilers? It they don't have money to buy the converter I'll donate.

The video resolution is so poor that makes it a pain trying to follow the demos. Please make it a little better
or else you are wasting a very good effort. The audio is very low. Microphones should near speakers to avoid
reverberation.
Best regards and congratulations nonetheless.
