Strangely enough, in VB.NET you can use optional parameters OR overloading methods. I guess that's to let you use your preferred method, but personally I find it confusing (I prefer overloading too, by the way).

Cool shirt, I want one of those!

I completely agree with the shortcomings of the current help systems - Great reference, but no howto. Looking forward to Whidbey (As if I wasn't already..)

Did anybody else think it was wierd to hear the alarm chimes during this? Made Dare seem even more powerful and ominous.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It made me think of a particular scene in Iron Eagle (80s movie), where they're talking, an alarm sounds, and an F-16 is driven by.

Loved it too! More of this!

Right, thanks for the answer.

Well, I assume that for every failing machine, at least five other ones are waiting to pick its tasks up? I've actually never noticed Hotmail being down..

What I would like to know is, what exactly happens when the Messenger service can't connect and it says 'Check if you're behind a firewall blah blah' (as if it's my fault, hah!). Have the servers just reached their maximum number of connections or is it something else?

(Dunno if this can be answered by someone from the Alerts team, but they're at least related technologies right?
