Very Cool....

Hi All,

Received a late Christmas Present today......my channel9 guy! No camera with me at the moment, I'll take a pic later and post.

I sent my postcard a couple of months back, so it takes a little while to come, but hey he's here!

Thanks C9 Team

Hi all,

I have done this using windows XP embedded, it's very usefully for very specific tasks, what I used it for was a PC which needed to slient when booted and connected to a terminal server once booted. XP embedded was Ideal for this.

Boot up was quick on flash and the image was around 200mb, which support sound, video, wifi, network and usb.

Thanks All!

I don't think it should be called BASIC any longer. I believe part of the bickering over c# and VB is that VB has the word BASIC in it, which makes other people, who choose to use other languages to think of VB as inferior in some way, as with any language there advantages and disadvantages to all.

I think a better name would be V+

Sabot,

Good call! I agree completely that it ended with a bang! Never knew about the Sky Programme website either, when looking throught the listing I noticed this also.....

VMWare are giving away VMware Player, which is free (beta), supports USB and loads VM Images!
