If we wanted to test that our desktop, network-related services and processes work correctly with DAM, is there a laptop available that supports Connected Standby?

We have thousands of unit tests that were created before VS 2012.  If we would have had the traits capability we probably would have used it.  Instead, we relied upon grouping our tests in namespaces that match the namespace of the API they're testing.  What we really need in the Test Explorer is the ability to group by Namespace.  Class is nice but too fine grained for us as we typically have dozens of associated test classes within a single test namespace.  If we could group by Namespace we could more easily test just the part of our API implementation that has changed (due to bug fix or new feature).

The lack of any specifics on .NET's future was very disappointing. I thought Herb Sutter's "The Future of C++" put this talk to shame.

This is a really excellent presentation on TPL.  Great stuff!

Doh!  Why aren't all the Silverlight 4 embedded players support pinned full-screen.  For us multi-monitor users out here, it is very annoying to have the video go out of full screen mode when we try to do something on the other monitor.

The full-screen pinning ROCKS!  I also like the more modern, cleaner look of the new UI.

What the cuss?  I am playing this on Silverligth **4**.  I put the video in full screen on my second monitor then proceed to work on my first montior and the video kicks out of full screen mode upon the first mouse-click on the app I want to work in.  I thought Silverlight 4 was supposed to support this scenario?  That's what ScottGu said during his DevConnections keynote.  If this requires a config change on the content side then please update your silverlight content to support this new functionality in SL4.

One feature of DExplore I'm missing in the new help system (and MSDN online) is the "Sync with Table of Contents" button.  Many times I'll do a search (or use the index) to find a .NET type and then I want to see the type in the context of the namespace it was defined in.  That way I can quickly surf related types.

To ship is to choose.  I know how it goes. 

Why don't the developer tools show the HTTP response headers like Kothari's web dev helper?  Seems like an unfortunate omission or is it in there and I'm just not finding it?
