Really wanted to watch the video but right now I only have access to a Kindle Fire HD which doesn't support WMV. Why no MP4 version like most c9 videos?

@Basarat:OK, Will that work like it does with WP7?  I wrote a simple random password generator that also generates pronounceable pass-phrases.  I dogfood it myself to make sure it's usable for a  while and might eventually put it up on the store after I get it to pass certification.  What bugs me is that it WP7 periodically decides to revoke it's status meaning I have to re-deploy.  Will Win8 and WinPhone8 behave the same way?  

What I'm really interested in knowing more about is the story for individual or hobby developers.  For example, if I write an app for the interface formerly known as "Metro" for my own personal use how would I deploy it to a WinRT device that I own?

Hotkeys:  I kinda like AutoHotKey. [www.autohotkey.com]  It has to be the most versatile such system I've come across.

On the TrustedInstaller issue, I've found this little tweak very handy.  http://bit.ly/MTbDRy  It adds a right click context menu option called "Take Ownership" that lets you right click on pretty much anything and take ownership of it. Much simpler than manually editing permissions to accomplish the same thing.

@Eduardo Quintana:I had the same experience, Microsoft rejected but credit card approved the charge, when I tried to renew my MSDN subscription online.  I ended up having to renew over the phone.

I'd really like to see Kinect for Windows support in Windows 8.  It would make the Metro interface actually usable on the desktop where a touch screen really isn't practical.  Imagine a "Minority Report" like experience for all of the swiping gestures.

Awesome tip!

Pretty cool... I wish the achievements would show up on our XBOX Live avatars.  It would also be cool if there were achievements for using ReSharper.
