  Good, as always.  But I recall Laura saying once, on Ping, that she's a member of Mensa, so she's smart.

  I hadn't see this video back in 2004, so it was very good to see it now.  I found Bill Hill's comment about needing to focus upon the human using the computer, more than the computer itself, his "homo sapiens 1.0" comments, an epiphany.  Very good!

  I'm very sad to learn that Paul is leaving Ping, and Microsoft.  I wish you all the best, Paul.

  Clint, you mentioned something about a code snippet for entering dependency properties faster in XAML.  What is that code snippet, please?

  @Clint: OK, I'd better free up some space before I give this a try.  Thanks.

  @RodAtWork:Yes, it's there.  Start, Run, perfmon.  You should see it in the sys32 directory.

  Thank you, @BradL, that works perfectly!

  I just started watching this series.  Great series!  I'm learning a lot, especially about things I didn't even know was there, like Perfmon.  I've got a question about performance monitor.  I have been able to find it on my Windows 7 box, but can't on my old XP box.  Here at work we have a mixture of XP and Win7, so it would be great if I could run that on XP as well.  Is it there?

  Just watched this on my ride into work. The new functionality to SkyDrive sounds good, but I've got a question.  I also use Live Mesh, which syncs things like my IE favorites, and whatever folders I choose, into the cloud.  This is great, and I use it, but the most important thing to me, with respect to Live Mesh, is the ability to be able to log into my work PC from anywhere.  I rely upon that to get remote access to my work PC.  Does this new functionaltiy to SkyDrive do that?  Does SkyDrive and Live Mesh "play nice" with each other?

  @rbarraza: Rick, it's my turn to apologize for not responding sooner.  WOW, almost a month after you replied to me.  I'm sorry!

  Thank you for your description as to what you mean by a "new developer".  It's interesting, then, as it now seems like Microsoft is going to make it possible for the hobbiest developer to get back into the game, so to speak.  I know that you meant more than that, but it seems as though the new developer would be someone who isn't necessarily a heavy duty enterprise developer (although they're included), but could also be the person who writes a few scripts on the side, occasionally dabbles in HTML and JavaScript, that Windows 8 will open it up for people like that again.  Something that was lost with each new version of VS.
