Is there any hint that there will be an SDK update for 8.1?  I'd say WinRT still feels like a V1 framework at times and I'm hoping it gets fleshed out a little more.

I would say it feels more like V0.9.

@MasterPie: That's hysterical! Well played, MS.

@fanbaby: WTF does Silverlight have to do with this? My gawd, I think you're the only person in Channel 9 who even utters the word. Seek help. Seriously.

@Cybermagellan: All .NET web frameworks (Web Forms, MVC, or Web Pages), are built on top of ASP.NET. They're technically called ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, and ASP.NET Web Pages, respectively. So it's imperative to have a good understanding of the ASP.NET web stack: application pools, worker processes, HttpContext, HttpRequest, HttpResponse, etc. even if the particular framework that you're working with tries to buffer you from having to have any knowledge of these components.

You guys need to go see your doctors and get yourselves an Rx.

@DeathByVisualStudio: I hope by "top developers outside the company" they don't mean just developers of the flavor-of-the-month social apps on the other platforms. I couldn't care less if they "lured" over the developers of Instagram or Vine or some stupid 99-cent casual game with 30 million downloads. I'd rather see some really innovative stuff that's not on any other platform.

@Bas: Thankfully, Microsoft's Apple-envy hasn't reached ridiculous proportions (yet).

@Erisan: Seems Gartner likes to recycle news now. This information came out several weeks ago when Nokia announced earnings. The only thing newsworthy is that Gartner's analysis actual reflects what was already known.

@Charles: The Watcher Watchers

@Sven Groot: Ah. I see the tag line for each forum in the forum list. I never noticed those before.

I thought this change had to do with a certain thread here in the Coffeehouse , but I see that all of the forums now show the tag line in the thread list.
