  FILETABLE is now recommended way for storing files? It's not supported in LocalDB is it?

  Is it possible to have an original domain of the website to be displayed on the 3rd party identity provider login page? For example mysite.com instead of Mysite.acccesscontrol.appfabriclabs.com.

  If not, that might be a deal breaker.. Wouldn't an average user be confused when he or she tries to login into mysite.com and sees a totally different domain name on login page?

  Great interview! Thanks Charles, Andres!

  ..Just out of curiosity, isn't it possible to start a new "branch" of C# language and .NET Framework, redesigning it from scratch? Thus keeping existing customer base on previous brunch and without breaking any existing code bases; and new customers will be able to to use this new "branch" if they want to.

  For example in a world of cloud computing, the base class library as we know it in .NET 4.0 doesn't bring simplicity to the table (because it wan't designed for a cloud app platform at the first place). IMO, the base class library on Windows Azure or similar cloud platforms should differ dramatically from existing .NET 4.0 as we know it today...

• Benko on the Microsoft Touch Mouse

  Indeed, that looks promising. Two concerns I have so far:

  - How correct it interprets user actions? For example you may just put your finder over its surface and it will be recognized as a mouse click.

  - And also I am worried about its ability to scroll large documents properly. For example when you need to scroll a huge document that is essential to be able hit a scroll wheel one time and allow it to scroll the document gradually until you stop it, by putting mouse over a rotating wheel (this is how it works in regular mouse). Based on video presentations you can't do it this way with Microsoft Touch Mouse. When you slide finger down it scrolls a relatively small portion of a document, even if you slide as fast as you can, forcing you to slide your finger several times before reaching the end of large document.

  Thanks, Stephen. Great introduction video! That would be good to have some testing project with samples to play with.

  Looks like a pretty simple app. How many working hours is required to implement it with W. Phone 7 Dev Tools?
