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.

Can next week be TWC9 fire side chat? Smoking jackets?

@Charles: Thanks. I did some digging and also found this site for feature requests.

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.

I always watch Channel9 sped up. East coaster/NYC area, we talk very fast!

Love this show! Keep it up

Silverlight is being pinched out because Microsoft is watching the war thats going on with Flash and realize it'll never succeed as a cross platform solution no matter how many times over it is better than flash. The only true cross platform UI technology is HTML5+JS.

However, as a technology lead planning out a massive rewrite of our product.... I am pumping the breaks to see where this all goes. WPF and Silverlight may be there, but we don't want to invest in what becomes a * step child.

Great work! Comment your code

Hey Laura,

Check out Weave under the News & Weather category. Its an RSS reader but its does an awwwesome job. I just started using it this week to get news. Its really customizable as far as categories and picking from 130+ already supported and seeded feeds plus you can add your own.

The preview is free and takes 20 seconds to install. Why don't you try it and if you still leak report the bug right in the preview. Thats why Microsoft is doing these previews.
