So Paul, if you went as a douchebag, did you have a hot chick with you? Cos it doesn't really work otherwise. We need photos!

Wow, quite a few comments here from creepy guys. Never seen a woman in a professional context before? Why aren't the mods deleting them?

Migrating WPF features to Silverlight is a common request and we are always looking at ways to do this.

It's not so much WPF features as the fact that the APIs are inconsistent for no good reason whatsoever. Trouble is, 4 versions in now, that's a blister that Silverlight will have to live with for the rest of it's days.

My wishes for Silverlight 5 are better typograhy support (at least let us position TextBlocks by their baseline instead of their bounding box and give us full font-metrics) and a 3D API (a proper 3D API, not the comedy one from WPF). Without those, Silverlight is less powerful that what the latest browsers can do without a plugin.

Your own twitter feed is just you retweeting @ch9. You both need to up your game and tweet like Hanselman.

The NFL online thing is great, although expensive, if you live outside the USA... except if you live in the UK, where because Sky have the broadcast rights, you can't watch the two live games they show on a sunday online (although you can watch them back later) or any of the playoffs.

Are you guys for real about Azue? You seem to think that if people have any website that requires more than one server they are automatically going to target Azure unless they have some special hardware requirements?! Using Azure is the exception, not the rule. Compared to renting a bunch of dedicated servers for any number of hosting companies, Azure is: too expensive; yet another bunch of APIs to learn; locked into being hosted by MS; time-consuming to set up for applications where RDPing in and xcopying a website over is all you need.

Btw. I think Charles is 46.

Sorry guys, but my overwhelming feeling about the double rainbow advert is: corporations ruin everything.

Apple stole the name of your show. You should sue!

The tools for WP7 are free for all anyway so they wouldn't be covered by the Dreamspark licence I'd have though.

Reminds me of that movie.... Failure To Launch

Not that any of this is serious competition, but isn't bringing your own scaffold to gain extra height kindof cheating anyway?
