I'll buy the silverlight team a cake if they release a 64-bit version of the silverlight plugin. Who's with me?

Shameless self plug - convert png icons in various resolutions to a ICO [free/open source]

Hey - where is the option to contact a specific Niner by email? Can't find it.

[w3bbo, could you drop me a line at <myc9username> @gmail.com ?]

Sorry if its been answered before, but is there a way that 64 bit IE can be set as the default browser? (now that I have 64-bit flash, yay)

O hai! How's everyone?

I am in the mood for a new avatar/caption actually...

I am getting basic HTTP authentication dialogs when accessing C9 via chrome (while not logged in). Does this have anything with the "fun" you are planning today? *wink*wink*?

Microsoft Research building 99

The xbox / kinect test rooms

The Zune building lobby (I heard it was styled very differently from the rest of the buildings)

There is no way for admins to make posts sticky. That feature was removed about 3 years ago.

We'll just keep bumping this thread, then

EDIT: why not put an icon in the C9 header saying "Try out the new beta!"

Although it's not fun to have this awesome engine in a deliberately crippled UI, I can understand why they're doing it.

 

They want people to focus on the engine and the development platform. If they were to release this using their (presumably unfinished) new IE9 UI, many people would focus on that instead and report bugs on it instead of the engine, which the IE team doesn't want at this stage (again probably because the UI is not finished enough for public testing).

 

If they were to release the IE9 preview using the old IE8 UI (which at least would make it more usable), you'd risk people misunderstanding, thinking that IE9 will have the same UI as IE8, and the whole *-storm of bad PR that would entail if someone influential came to that (wrong) conclusion and wrote an article about it.

I am pretty sure Dovella was trying to downplay Google Chrome.. but good job hijacking the thread, guys, and stealing his thunder
