I guess they still beat Cairo though...

That's because Cairo's UI was being based on the graphics engine from Duke Nukem Forever.

From left to right:

• IE7 (XP)
• Safari (XP)
• Safari (Mac OSX)
• Firefox (Mac OSX)

All on the same machine at the same time.

This doesn't ring true:

The reason we’re able to offer Express for free and even let developers build commercial applications with Express is because we limit 3rd party extensibility of Express, specifically by removing support macros, add-ins, and VSIP packages.

So stop distributing Express. Or give away the full product.

Piss or get off the pot.

Has there been a video of him on here? He's having a spat with Jamie Cansdale.

You could do it with a single shared exchange account cairo; I've never gotten active sync to play well with public calenders.

Thanks. I'll work that angle.

My company puts on events several times a year. The floor staff needs to have a shared electronic calendar to keep the schedules straight. I was thinking of issuing them cheap-ish PDA-phones, like the Moto Q, and configuring the phones to use either a single exchange account, or somehow use a (public folder) shared calendar, if it allows that.

Anyone have advice on this?

So they're going to port all of that PHP/FreeBSD/MySQL/Postgres Code to Microsoft stuff?

IE6 worked fine a few moments prior to IE7 being installed. It looks like IE7 is *sorta* working, because the tab title changes, favicons show up, etc . -- but the content area is completely blank, and the window cannot be closed (I have to kill it in task manager, even though it's not hung). Additionally, typing an address into the address box causes a popup that says "<address> is not available". The alt key also doesn't show the menu bar.

Any ideas?

Which will run on the mac; this begs the obvious question, why isn't the whole thing being ported? (setting aside asp.net perhaps)

Good question. It would be an interesting move, especially if they got support from Apple -- like a partnership. Apple worked to make Java a 1st class language on the Mac, they could do the same with DotNet ... if Microsoft would allow it. It would weaken the "fence" around Windows, so I don't think it's likely.

The AppleTV connects in a few seconds. It also re-connects in a few seconds. If you quit iTunes and re-start it while the AppleTV is using it, it'll put up a "reconnecting..." screen briefly, then you're back in business.
