  You guys should check out the MVVMLight Preview bits. The ViewModelLocator is much better and comes with a very simple IoC implementation.

   Interesting stuff. I guess Microsoft will be pushing more native development with Windows 8... 

   

  That's exactly  point number 2 on my //BUILD/ predictions. http://janhannemann.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/placing-final-bets-build/

  @wkempf: After my first thread with almost 6 million viewings was locked because of trolling, a Silverlight moderator was replying in a sequel thread that "We can't say anything else until September. Trust me that the previous thread
  was visible at some of the highest levels inside Microsoft (one reason I edited
  to remove the trolls and insulting that was a problem and obscuring the message
  the thread was sending)"

  Looks like we send a message and maybe we get answers earlier than September. Meanwhile, lets hope the best.

   There's a reason for this. HTML is a document centric language and does very poorly when designing other types of user interfaces.

  The real question is, why is IE10 not executing XAP's natively. No need for a plugin on Windows and fully accelerated and  integrated into the OS. That would be a nice SL story. But right now it sounds more like they going to rename Silverlight to Silverdusk and we have to program for ActiveDesktop 2.0.

  To make it clear once again. We don't want freaking html/js for app developement. I'm really pissed if this is the final story.

  I'm from Germany and I used to live in Potsdam but moved to Victoria BC 2 years ago.

  So of course my first tip is Potsdam. It's really nice City with lot of old castles and its' just 30min by train.

  -Potsdamer-Platz in Berlin http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=berlin+potsdamer+platz&FORM=BIFD 

  -If you have enough time and 60km is not far away then Tropical Islands is worth a trip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Islands it's huge artificial tropical resort in the world largest  single hall without supporting pillars inside. It's a weired experience, its like biosphere on the moon.

  -And don't miss the television tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Fernsehturm The Space Needle has just the half of the height. 

  -Oh and if you wanna experience the Autobahn then rent a Porsche http://www.erento.net/rent/vehicles-boats-aircraft/special-cars/porsche/germany/ and go down the Berlin Ring to the A9 and have fun without speed limits. If you hit the 250km/h then there no need for coffee anymore.
