  @madscientist:

  The cold hard truth is that msdn and wikipedia can teach you all you need to know for free and far faster to boot.. certs so far has always a step or two behind, especially in our industry where you really should get a firm grasp of a technology while its still in beta.

  Maybe these changes will bridge the gap a little though

  yeah i was gonna say.. i thought laura was gonna clock him

  really cool rechnology, especially since it uses blendshapes in the mesh, meaning that your face could drive a completley diffrent looking character in game.. good stuff

  great stuff

  What i'd really like to know is if writing desktop apps using winRT xaml will be supported in windows 8.. Some clever folks at mdl have already shown its possible, but will it actually be supported?

  I really hope so because there is absolutley no reason why desktop apps shouldnt get the added performance and winRT contract goodness...

   

  Also, since VS now uses the blend designer, does that mean behaviors are supported in VS? are they baked into the framework even? that would be really great!

   

  the Odata thing in web API is kind of hazy to me.. you can expose odata feeds with webapi by returning a IQueryable from your action, but what about the other features of Odata? for exampel OOdata supports dynamic data models and i dont see how that'd work with IQueryable.. and what about Odata updates and inserts? so many questions

  @DeadX07:

  Really? I asked about that at pdc a few years back and they told be only the editor was wpf, and the actual shell was not..

  I have bigger problems at the moment though, it appears that its completley impossible to install vs11 to any other location than the one you first installed it to. the uninstaller doesnt do a clean uninstall and even removing all vs files, manually uninstalling all the vs11 components and even digging through the registry has proven uneffective...

  Getting really annoyed with the installer... litteraly NO install options and still doesnt work right..

  So does the UI changes mean that the entire VS shell is now wpf based? that'd be pretty cool [i know some niners strongly disagree though]

  Does this mean that we can restyle vs? i'd really like to hear more about that

   

  I had a very strange problem installing the beta though, none text editor color/font options where available, and font size changes didnt go through either.. it works fine on another machine though.

  All i did was not installing in the default directory, im reinstalling tonight though

  cool stuff

  i wonder if the design update for VS means that the whole shell is now wpf.. that'd be cool

  -edit-

  oo i have a question, in tfs express, can you choose any process template?
