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.

Just as @Stilgar and @codedj have said above, I personally want IE team to have a clarification about this blurry font issue, and finally fix it. They have been silent about this issue so far (and some denied it). But that just doesn't seem right either since this issue keep on making me very annoyed, at least for me and many others (people who have validated this issue in the Connect report above).

So, IE team, please speak transparently about this issue.

Thanks all for the details! I appreciate it.

Hi Charles, I can't hear clearly who they are and what their roles, either they spoke too soft or too fast. Sorry, I'm not a native speaker in English. I think it's better to have them written-tagged.

I like about what being said by someone (the guy with glasses next to Brian Grunkemeyer) about the importance of product feedback through Connect. I think feedback is one of the most important basic principle in engineering, and of course for helping evolving the product. BTW, do they use SQM (Software Quality Metric) in tracking feedback on API usage?

Thanks for this!
