I enjoyed the indepth discussion of the GC changes in 4.5.

I want to add that some of the interviewer's commentary is off-putting.  Native vs. managed to me is a subject of the right tool for the job.  I agree that native code is the tool for this particular job.  However, it's not necessary to hear comments like "Why would you use anything else?"  I say that because it distracts from the topic and is unprofessional.  Responses like "rock and roll" and "rock on" are also unprofessional.  It's okay to interject levity and personality, but that can be done without sounding like a YouTube video.

Thank you.

All I want to know at this point is: can I develop my own applications and deploy them directly to my phone?  That is, for applications that I develop for my use I don't want to go through the marketplace.

This is a deal breaker and will determine whether or not I invest time in this platform and money on the phone.
