Is it expected as we near final release that the performance of the transitions will improve?  How much of the optimization needs to come from the end developer vs the platform.

Will websites with Silverlight content be viewable from within the mobile browser?

 

Update: I would still like this question answered please!  Though it seems more petty to ask a second time. 

 

Cheers,

Clint

Hi,

I was just downloading the Microsoft Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” Community Technology Preview - Development Tools for WinFX and I noticed in the fine print the following

"This CTP does not include a graphical design surface for the Windows Communication Foundation. "

I would assume that there is something in the works that will allow people to develop WCF interfaces using a designer rather than having to code everything.   Does anyone have any more information on this feature and the direction it is heading?

Cheers,
Clint

(sparkle) Hey Jamie,

While EID doesn't have any file importers at this time you can use Expression Graphics Designer to export XAML (native format of EID) or Mike Swansons Adobe Illustrator to XAML exporter. 

Cheers, Clint

(sparkle) Hey Jamie,

I have been playing with EID a bit as well.  I too think it is pretty fantastic although I am a programmer without any graphics skills to speak of (I just really like graphics.)

If you post your suggestions to the Expression Interactive Designer Forum someone from Microsoft will read them.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi Robert,

I was wondering if there are any plans to get an interview with the Windows Vista Media Center team?  A while back they announced that they would be opening up the product so regular developers can use the same APIs and mark up that the MCE team uses to create the applications that look like they belong with MCE rather than an add on.

It would be great to see how much it has progressed and what the developer experience is going to be like.

Cheers,
Clint

Just as a side comment, I always liked your avatar because I thought it looked pretty cool but I could never figure out why you had a gun to your head.  Now that I have seen the bigger version of your picture I realize that it is a hand curled up with a finger touching the mic.  It just looked a lot different when looking at the smaller picture.

To have a PC that I can take anywhere and dock at home, work, etc.

Along the same vein I have also dreamt having it dock in a laptop shell, in my car as the CarPC, etc.  If they can develop a killer docking solution then this thing could kick butt.  Additionally I have always dreamt that this PC would run light applications when used as a handheld.  They are accomplishing this by using Windows CE 5 which isn't a bad way to start. 

If this takes off I can see it getting quite popular.  Now to get a kill graphics card in it Smiley

As I had mentioned before is regarding the streaming video.  While I do have an issue with the pages within the site, my biggest problem is with the video themselves.  A windows mobile 5 device has a Media Player 10 compatible media player so it qualfies for the "Plays for Sure" moniker but when plays for sure only plays at a crippled bitrate, I am not too impressed. 

From what I can gather the streaming server detects that I am running a protable device and scales the quality down.  The interesting thing is that I set an option in the Windows Media player to say that I am a 1 Mbps connection and I turned off the "Detect connection speed" but still the video comes to me at a reduced bit rate.

Perplexed

Hi All,

There have been times when I had my PocketPC (Dell Axim x51v) with me and a fast internet connection and I think to myself that it would be great to be able to watch a video on Channel 9, unfortunately the website doesn't play well with PocketIE and the videos are shown at a reduced bitrate (I think something like 24k).  All this makes for a very poor experience.  While I could live with the difficult front page I give up when trying to watch a video.  My PocketPC can easily handle the regular bitrate of the FullScreen videos but the video server cripples my video. 

Has anyone else been successful in watching a video from a Pocket PC and have the bitrate stay around 300k?

While I am at it I would like to put in a request for a PocketIE friendly site. Big Smile
