Can we expect support to be added for the Express editions (as that is what most shareware devs will be using anyway)?

And is this kit going to remain free?

Does the kit automate retrieving lost activation keys (re-activation)?

Edit: You tricked my into posting in the PDC05 Forums! Now I am dirty... ... .. SoOOO very dirty.. Crying

What is your answer?

Hmmmmm... Would this "Michael Lehman - Channel9 Podcaster" Happen to be the second new 9Teamer? If not, put him on anyway Smiley

I don't know who wrote the script for the first podcast, but it was really cool. The way he spoke made it that much better.

I want C# Express Support! (Ignore the other Express products Wink

)
Loadsgood.

I bet the web side will be recoded with php/mysql (LAMP) about 10 minutes after the release considering what most webservers run.

Hijacker, hijacker! Smiley

So you think this kit is worth trying? You, the Linux Guru? Wink

I can understand making it work with mySQL, but why rewrite it in php? If you have a Linux web server, then just run it on Mono!

sharewarestarterkit.com eh? Has Microsoft secured that domain name yet? I ask because Network Solutions lists it registered to a Brian Trautman of Personify Design and having been registered back in December.

Before C# there was darkness...

Cool. Does the product Key registration use some kind of PKI to verify the key and machine hash is valid for machine on each startup of the app. Or how is the license done/verified/etc. Also, could C9 host the server part and use paypal and CC processing? TIA

Yes, he was tired after helping me get the starter kit ready for launch.
