Although I suppose it all comes down to what you define a service pack to be, Windows 8.1 isn't a service pack. They're going to completely refresh the OS and flatten the entire Windows directory. There's changes everywhere from Windows Explorer to IE to compiler improvements to new syscalls - at least going by the leaked build.

It might "feel" like a service pack, but it really isn't. It's an entirely new OS whose UI is pretty much the same with presumably a transparent upgrade path.

Wow, really? It's surprising that MS would make all of those under-the-hood moves in a minor version update.

@Cybermagellan: Yeah, Web Forms makes things a lot harder than they need to be. Try to approach things from a WinForms perspective and it might make more sense.

To help ease the transition, remember that you can add runat="server" to any HTML control and it will be available in the code-behind for you to work with.

Wow, Android has 3/4 of the market. I knew they were selling well, but that still surprises me.

@kettch: That's no fun!

I'd use MVC 4. It fits very nicely into CRUD applications.

50/50 is just the default split, the snapping is actually arbitrary in blue, you can drag the splitter anywhere between, the only limit is just a minimal width of app.

so, yes, the docked snap view is supported on 1024x768

Really? That's pretty nice. I hope the dev will have control over what resolution triggers the switch to snapped mode in the UI.

Maybe DevDiv decided to dogfood TFS and Scrum.

I think they have, because TFS 2012 is a major upgrade from TFS 2010 when it comes to the agile planning tools.

I think rapid updates are to be expected. Isn't MS going to a more agile release cycle? I wouldn't expect VS2013 to be much different than VS2012. More like VS2012 Update 3.

My wife and I saw Best of Both Worlds in the theater a few weeks ago. Great experience. We have season 1 on Blu-ray but are waiting for sales to get seasons 2 and 3. The quality is really amazing; some of the episodes look like they were filmed yesterday.

Fact is, Windows XP is the most used Windows version after 7, with a marketshare of almost 40%.

Citation? Last I checked, XP had less marketshare than Windows 8.

You have no idea how software is developed if you think a $30 upgrade license would pay for supporting the ancient piece of software that XP is.
