I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to work with Larry. It's been a total blast work directly with him on features for Windows 8. A total blast .

Piet, IIRC, referencing legacy dotNET dlls is not currently supported in Metro style apps. You can find more information in Krzysztof's talk: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/TOOL-930C

Scarless. The amount of porting required will depend heavily on the codebase you are discussing. Some code will just come forward with little to no changes (like JavaScript). I'm assuming you are specifically talking about .NET code though. Even with porting, it's still a lot of code you can leverage in your app rather than starting from scratch. For instance, just making the .NET code into a Metro style library rather than a full-blown class library. This is a similar situation that happens today with Silverlight and the profile of the .NET Framework you have to adhere to when developing Silverlight applications.

Thanks Ian . It was great to come out and share what we've been working on .

Come on Charles, you got to give me some time to sleep . Just when I think I can catch up on C9 videos to watch, you go and release another one I must watch .

I couldn't agree more! I haven't been this excited about video content here on Channel 9 since 3-4 years ago, before I joined MSFT and back when I first started watching Channel 9 in the first place.

This is why I love Channel 9. I'm so stoked about this series. GREAT IDEA Charles! Channel 9 is ROCKING.

+200 Geek Points to you for choosing the best character from the entire Stargate Universe .

Thanks a bunch Dentaku . When Brian asked me to do it, my response was "It's about time! I've been wanting to do it for a while!" I guess I should have actually told Brian that before!

It was definitely fun filming this episode with Jonathan. Thanks for watching .

Thanks a bunch! I was excited when Brian asked us to do it. There was no way I was going to turn that opportunity down .

As far as the bing sticker, I'm not sure. I'll poke around. If I can find some here, I'll let you know so we can work out a way for me to mail it to you .

In that situation, we will throw an error because we were expecting to only find one, and we found two. This is the only real "deterministic" way to behave for us.
