@Clint: I like the invisible mouse I'm using in the preview picture though. It's awesome by the way.
gduncan411 It's amazing what a professional photographer can do...

@Clint: Na... I had to watch it a couple times (when doing the time codes) and I think you're being to hard on yourself. It was just "real"
And remember, always blame the producer (i.e. It's all my fault... : )
Like the "[Title]" that was all my bad (I mean... err... it was a test... yeah... that...)
I say better some TWC9, than none. And it was cool having you and Duncan doing the show. You guys brought a great dynamic to the show.

@gduncan411: it took us like 4 takes and we still screwed up the intro!

The show was a bit rough on the edges but it makes it more real. You guys did a great job delivering the content and the picture in picture was pretty good to, because sometimes you want to look at the slide a little longer and other times you wish the slide would be gone already.
Great to have a show even if the regular hosts are unavailable! And that a day early! I have so say the C9 teams seems to be on a roll lately, adding feature requests (thx again) stepping up in videos if required and the C9 website and forums have been very vibrant in the last few days. C9 has clearly drunk an energy drink or two.

Those new Phone emulator features look nice. They seem like little things but they make a big difference.

I just downloaded the new 7.1 SDK and I'm getting an error when installing it.
I already have the original Phone tools installed (not the beta or RC 7.1 stuff) and it tells me...
PreRequisite products
Setup has detected that Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 is not installed, which is required to install the following product. Please install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 and the retry.
*Microsoft Visual Studio C# Express 2010

NOW, I think Microsoft Visual Studio C# Express 2010 is from when I installed the Kinect tools, not the Phone 7 tools.

Should I just install this first?

@dentaku: I'd try that, it should update the Express install to SP1
