Thanks! Dan didn't write the tags, though, they are pre-populated in Channel 9 already. JavaScript came up during FelonSpy (Dan's pick of the week).

Good stuff and the weekly show is getting better and better with each episode. 

Nice to see the production values improving too (not just a logo, but coloured lighting and stuff too - cool!). Keep this rate of improvement up and you'll be up there with the 100 million dollar movies by the end of the year.

Seriously, good job which contrasts nicely with the other Channel 9 videos.  Friday night (UK time) is becoming "Watch Channel 9 night" around here Smiley

Congrats.

SWEET! Nice work, I didn't even think about using PowerShell for this!

BTW, nice Ross Perot quote - seems appropriate given Scott's impressions. Smiley

My solution to fix the Visual Studio BETA 1 to RTM issue
