That's some heavy stuff once you start thinking about it naiad + azure = skynet?

Hope too see more naiad on c9!

i have only one burning question... winRT for desktop, when?

Blend in express is huuuuuuuuuge! just hoping they add it to express for desktop as well.. (and even support wpf for that matter)

now there is only one part missing..

WinRT. For. Desktop. Apps. 

What happend to metro apps on different screens when using multimon, do they work in rtm? Win-pgUp/win-pgDown I think it was

The metro multimon stuff had me the most exited about RTM, but I can't test it myself right now :/

good stuff

@felix9:

i dont really get how they "miss" a build numberlike that. arent those numbers "coerced" anyway? it seems inprobable that there are exactly 8888 builds (or 9200 builds) in the windows branch.. i mean did someone queue a new build by accident and fudge the 8888 build [and therefore had to queue 312 more builds]?

then again, getting the final build to exactly 8888 might not be a huge priority

Yay, build

Hopefully we'll finally hear something about apps for xbox.. though i wonder if they'll get that out before the next version xbox.. it seems highly plausable that xbox will run win 8 so a xaml stack seems likely

Another thing i'd reaaaally hope we see is winRT for desktop apps [on win8].... there is no technical reason what so ever for not enabling that, and it would bring a more cohesive set of apps, better skill reusability for app developers and an easier time for people to get in to metro development..

The directX integration alone would be awsome, but the perf and access to windows apis would be awsome

one thing though, how is it "giving" stuff away at conferances when you pay like 2000 bucks for the ticket

Vs RC looks a lot better except for the all caps menus (obviously) but i'm a bit bummed that they only showed the light theme and not the dark theme.. all in due time i guess

@felix9:

it might look alright if it wasnt for that cement gray..

yay, brian
