Hi C9,
I've been a follower for ages.
I love that Microsoft is opening up to the community, being more transparent and offering great services, help and tools, for free no less.
Yet, I am mystified as to why the Gu, as well as others, seem hesitant to mention Google or iPhone, Flash, etc.
Esp. the Gu who to my knowledge has made us feel most noticed and appreciated as developers on Microsoft platforms.
Are there some legal reasons or is it still hangups from yesteryear?
