I hadn't been in a little while, so went to check out the comingzune.com viral marketing site. There's a new video up there that features a guy who looks quite similar to the Channel 9 guy (with a taller, red, buddy), dancing to the tune of 'MIS'.
Have any Channel 9 "insiders" been working with those guys? I had no idea he could dance so well.
Apologies I can't link directly to the video -- these flash sites are annoying. Main site is
www.comingzune.com.

I don't see any similarities. One's a black heavily pixelated humanoid robot, the other's a bright yellow pixelart figurine.

I don't see any similarity too... But I could be blind.
I don't like flash pages too. I hope they get that better done with WPF/e -

Yegads no, WPF/e would be worse for the Internet than Flash.

They just need to learn how to stream Flash. There's no need for that 0% to 100% counter in Flash if you do it right.

I'm predicting something about standards. I could be wrong though

If it is about standards, I'm not entirely sure I disagree. -

You're probably right, something about de-facto I reckon. There is no need for Microsoft to enter that market - what do Microsoft hope to gain from it that they couldn't get by working *with* Adobe. Microsoft will have a helluva fight against flash which (so I heard recently) has more installed on more machines that Windows (desktop versions). What is WPF/E *really* marketing material aside going to give me over Flash? Or more specifically what will it give me over Flex and Laszlo?
You're gonna have a lot of Linux (and Mac) guys refuse to download a Microsoft runtime for their platform - and to be honest I can't blame them in this circumstance. Shipping a cutdown CLR because Microsoft wants people to use it, when people have been asking for a *full* CLR for a while now on other platforms (that is production ready) just seems to me a little cheeky.

No, it's about lockout....and the whole "why have WPF when we've already got XForms?"
....plus I'm concerned about hoe well WPF/E will be implemented cross-platform. Mono is still lagging far behind .NET, for instance.
