  After seeing the work like this for Silverlight, I knew it was a matter of time before it got into the base framework.

• CLR 4.5: Maoni Stephens - Server Background GC

  Great work Maoni. I know optimizing the GC has to be brutally tough work given all the world's use cases. Every optimization is greatly appreciated. I heard the WindowsPhone meeting reminder go off in the beginning and thought it was mine.

  Btw, that keyboard is wild!

• Ping 117: Xbox gives back, Win 8 boots fast, Ballmer sees bright future, More MATH please!

  The shortcoming of math and science education is much deeper than no time because of things like cursive. I agree, love Balmer's personality and excitement. Btw, following Laura now.

• 8 traits of great Metro style apps

  @Chris:This is because Google is pushing the VP8 coded by not supporting the h.264 codec, both of which are a part of the HTML5 spec. IIRC you can get a plugin for it... or use Safari or IE

• C++ and Beyond 2011: Herb Sutter - Why C++?

  I tend to lean toward the other end of the spectrum for most mobile apps(not all). High performance PC and server apps, I get it. With managed and javascript+html5 generally comes much higher stability and security generally speaking.Not that you can't get this in native code, its just less for free.

  If we could solve the issues of GC and jitting the MSIL in a parallel manner on phones than I'd much rather stick to managed there.

  Great talk. Thanks much. Where can we go to file bugs/ideas? I'm running mango as a dev, meant for us to work on our apps, but I'm sure you'd love to hear some of our feedback.
