What does it take to be a retailer who sells windows phones? selling the phones and the service contracts. I have a storefront in a town in NJ. I would like to put a sign in the window saying you can buy you windows phone from me.

@SteveRichter Do you mean Access the product or "access" as in '...to Microsoft people'?

And when you say overproduced - are you referring to Channel 9 Live at PDC10 or just Channel 9 in general? I'm interested in your Channel 9 Live feedback specifically in this thread.

the Anders presentation was great.  I watched the headline WPF presentation - disappointed in that one. No new features in WPF. The future LINQ presentation by Bart de Smet went over my head so fast there was a sonic boom. I use LINQ all the time, understand IQueryable and expression trees But with so much of the deep dive stuff on C9, unless Anders is doing the explaining, I have a very hard time following the presentation.

I am finding c9 more and more over produced.  You guys said access was great, and I tried it and found it really hard to use and understand.  The dropping of windows mobile is very confusing - all this computing power in a phone, why can't it run .net and c#? - C9 has not explained it.

@SteveRichter:

Or you say,

<StackPanel id="BulletList" template="myBulletListCSSLikeTemplate">

<itemcontrol ... />

</StackPanel>

ok, thanks.  I will try that.

@SteveRichter:Learn to use and manipulate the ItemsControl, it's the shizzl of WPF

you mean something like this?  ( from StackOverflow)   I appreciate the power of WPF, but I feel I have to emerse myself in it for weeks at a time to be able to use it.  The HTML/CSS version of the bulleted list is a lot easier to use.

    <ItemsControl Name="lstScripts">              <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> 
                <DataTemplate> 
                    <BulletDecoratorWidth="Auto"> 
                        <BulletDecorator.Bullet> 
                            <EllipseFill="White"Stroke="Black"StrokeThickness="1"Width="8"Height="8"/> 
                        </BulletDecorator.Bullet> 
                        <TextBlock> 
                            <Hyperlink> 
                                <TextBlockText="{Binding Path=Name}"/> 
                            </Hyperlink> 
                        </TextBlock> 
                    </BulletDecorator> 
                </DataTemplate> 
            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> 
        </ItemsControl> 

@felix9:

Are they going to make it easier to create a bulleted list in WPF/Silverlght?

Because it's a inferior, second rate operating system that can barely compete with iPhoneOS 1.0? ...

windows did not take off until release 3.  What is it about a phone OS and hardware that prevented Microsoft from improving WM instead of scrapping it?

I don't understand why a version of windows mobile does not run on every phone.

or with more data available, there are more chances to prove your innocence. The key to getting the duke rape case charges dismissed and disproven were the recordings made at the ATM showing one of the accused far from the location the government prosecutor said he was at.

Well, if you don't know enough about it, how can you tell it was a flop?

And since when you have been able to run different OSs on mobile phones? (except for acts of extreme hacking, that count for what amounts to statistical noise)

If a phone runs android, does that mean it is open to pretty much any OS being loaded on it? That is one of my assumptions.  Why discontinue windows mobile as a competitor to android?


Regarding my lack of knowledge about windows mobile, I get all my tech info from C9 and MSDN <g>. I have a windows mobile phone. Can it connect to a wireless router as an IP device on a LAN? That would be neat if I could network to my phone from my PC, send code to it that I wrote using visual studio, exchange data between the devices.
