I have a question, you mentioned that the windows phone tools will be released soon, will this include the support for VB.NET?

Next time you see a rainbow, look slightly to left and right of the main one you'll see a light reversed version.

This continues, so ever rainbow is a double, it is just hard to tell. Look out for the dark bands.

Two pieces of Utah teapot trivia:-

1) SGI (Silicon Graphics) used to cheat these benchmarks by having a utah teapot GPU instruction.

2) 1/1000 corners in 3D Pipes (the screensaver) is a Utah teapot (instead of a sphere)

Regarding that other Ping.  I'm no attorney but I wonder if their website footnote "Ping is a registered trademark of Karsten Manufacturing Corporation and is used in the U.S. under license" implies they are paying some sort licensing fee or does that statement just provide the loophole they need to use it in this way.   I hope this has no affect on the Ping show name here and the Bing Ping beta.
