  @Dark_Halmut: so... while I get the experience you two are after, as a general rule... making our hrefs open in a new tab is very rude and disruptive to the user.

  Oh... and I just noticed, it is still in the 2011 list of top web design mistakes

  http://www.nngroup.com/articles/top-10-mistakes-web-design/

  Well, I didn't know if it were something considered to be (very?) rude. It's just I used to had, and perhaps still have, not-so-good UX (User Experience) with it. As I live in a country with not-that-fast internet connection a.k.a. slow, moving between pages backward and forward causing page rendering issues in IE, as I experience it with IE9 and earlier versions, e.g.: the original page didn't come back well-formatted as I move backward and forward. In short, it's very annoying for me, and not a good UX to me. That's why I develop the habit of opening new links in a new tab, and not in current tab. I'm not sure how it could be something considered "rude".

  Also, reading the arguments here: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/top-10-mistakes-web-design/, I become confused with the notation of "window" to be interchangeable with "tab". For me, a window is a window, and not a tab. And I understand this annoying behavior back then when I used IE6, as it had no notion of "tab". Thus, I'm not sure if it would be still an issue with tab as I consciously click the link, not something done unconsciously for me. Well, perhaps it's just applied to me...

  Nevertheless, I respect your decision about it. It's just a suggestion after all, though it would be still (very) helpful to me.

  Thanks.

  Dude, I have suggestion. Could you make all links above to open in NEW tab by default, instead of in CURRENT tab, by using target="_blank" of the <a /> tag?

  Thanks.

  Great Talk! Also very good to include the question in the end. Seems like the WinRT team has a lot of questions to answer about LOB apps

  You're right. A lot of questions still remain...

  Further, even the app that is used to develop Metro style apps and other apps a.k.a. VS11 is still written using C++ and .NET, and certainly not WinRT. I'm not even sure about Office.

  Well, I wonder what MS is going to say about all of these. Metro is just for the consumer for now.

  WinRT is basically baking .NET-Concepts into the OS at a native level by having an pumped up COM reusing a lot of concepts. So the longterm strategy is to get rid of Win32 by extending WinRT. And after that they will also want to get rid of the .NET-CLR in the long term.
  

  So, are you saying that there would be a chance web app like ASP.NET to be built into WinRT itself in the future, by deprecating .NET?

  @jim:Why do you need .net, when u can write applications in javascript using winRT?

  But WinRT only for Metro and limited to Metro only. There are alot of application types other than Metro app. Web application using ASP.NET, for example. Where's the logic?

  Also, why "Office 365" and not just 360 or 180? What, does it spin 5 degrees past where it started? Almost as pointless a name as Xbox 360. Just musing.

  I'm guessing it's not degree, but day. So, 365 days in a year. Just a guess

  I agree with some posters above. The media file download should be resumeable just like C9 in the old days. I notice this change recently and it seems the files are now hosted in Windows Azure. It's not very convenient to download a non-resumeable file, especially using dial-up connection.

  Here's the log I got using FDM (Free Download Manager):

  Server does not support download resuming. Don't stop this download; otherwise you'll have to start it from the beginning.
