Yea, in order to get it to work with IE7 in Vista you have to disable the popup blocker for the site.  It is very annoying.

Also, since it is an ActiveX control it runs in IE7's "Protected Mode".  So it the download will end up being located in the virtualized hard drive space IE7 creates for security.  That is why you received the prompt about saving the file to temporary internet files.

Why are you even responding to SecretSoftware's comment...

Anyways, it is kind of sad that these controls are quite a bit richer than what we get in the WPF world

Thanks for the vid.

Thanks for the link!

7k+ new unmanaged APIs?  Awesome!  I have used a few but I had no idea there were that many.  Is there a place available that lists these new APIs (most or all of them)?

Thanks.

Nice video.  I'd love to see more on WPF, WCF & WF

Very fun video!  The participants were excellent but I also really liked the concepts discussed.  Its nice to just sit back sometimes and think about these sorts of issues.

Just out of curiosity - is this more of an isolated initiative within Microsoft where a single team performs analysis and determines where in this "map" Microsoft's products/architectures fit?  Or is it more of an initiative where program managers at Microsoft use this information as sort of a feed back loop to determine where they want their product to fit in the business landscape and where it should go in the next 3-5 years?

It seems like this could be just as useful for Microsoft in determining the direction of their products as it is for the customers trying to find an overall IT strategy.

That is all fine and dandy Charles but just remember your audience is a technical one.  I agree, this video seemed out of place to me.

But thanks for the great work you guys are doing.

This seems like such a cool thing, but why name it flair??!?!  Anyone who has seen Office Space must think this = bad

So do you want us to just express ourselves?  Or meet the bare minimum?

Very interesting.  But it would have been nice if it wasn't such a one guy show

Good job though.
