  These seem a little light on real content. The phone session is a little under two hours of actual content? Doesn't seem worth the six hours of drive time.

  I saw one of those Coke machines at Universal Studios Orlando. If only it served Pepsi.

  I could read way too much into this and think that a focus on native code + all the "WinRT" rumors, and I could think that .NET is on the way out.

  Also, Diego can be hard to understand at points. What accent is that?

  @spivonious: I think the "10-15 years out" is a reference to when the technology becomes mainstream/common place as opposed to simply possible or available.

  I mean the same thing. New TVs now pretty much all include access to Netflix, Pandora, and Youtube. 5 years from now, Apple or Google will have duplicated the things in the MS Home and MS will be forced to play catch-up yet again. Why wait for the market? Make the market come to you.

  I would buy the charging plate and the screen that you showed the music library on today. Make it run on a PC and display on my TV. MS needs to realize that this stuff is not 10-15 years out; it's more like 5 years out. The amount of "web-enabled" TVs is proof of this. Make it so I can use a WP7/Win8 tablet to control everything.

  And I thought I was nerdy when I would fly from Chicago Midway to Philadelphia on FS95. Fantastic job!

  I couldn't watch all the video because that woman is damn irritating, always interrupting with nonsense comments. Sounded very fake, giving the impression that she was just paid to agree and show fake excitement.

  You do realize that this is a Microsoft website, and that both of the people in the video are Microsoft employees, right?

   

  I am also wondering how apps are closed, since it seems that pressing Home keeps them running. Also, the Qantas app is super cool, but I have to wonder how it affects battery life to have a live tile constantly polling your location.
