Really looking forward to diving into this stuff.

My question: With all the 'excitement' around HTML5 what are the downsides to focussing on XAML for Windows development?

I've already invested a lot of time over the the last couple of years developing in Silverlight for Windows phone and I want to build on that rather than go 'back to the future' with HTML5.

Am I being foolish / narrow minded if I take this approach?

Thanks,

Ian

It is really nice news! I am switching to Notepad++ and jQuery from today. My SilverLight controls ware customizations for another large web framework and today my work became obsolete.
Thank you very much!

Hello mate, wonderful to see you headlining. Great tech. Heres hoping the supporting hardware really shines and consumers bite It's good for everyone if mobile / tablets can really be a three horse race. Looking forward to being also to count an even number of Microsoft and Apple tablets in use during my daily commute. Thus far I've only seen about 4 Windows Phone 7s being used in the wild. Nice to see native coming around again after a decade of drinking coffee tasting cool aid. Good luck shipping this stuff!

1) A really, really (to use the language of this conference) great presentation, the best IMO of build.

2) Wake me up when the blend tool will be web-based [That's not to say that i don't envy you, it's a great tool!]

Visual Studio team, please consider adding conditional "compilation" of Xaml template sections to Visual Studio. Something similar to how complation constants are handled in code would be nice, so that those of us who will have legacy applications to support will be able to extend our existing Xaml templates to deliver Metro style interfaces.

Good stuff. Are you able to share the code for the sample apps? I tried building the apps on C# and JS and couldn't get it to work.
