Silverlight 5 is released and no mention on Channel 9. Sad, very sad
gduncan411 It's amazing what a professional photographer can do...

@nesher: Yeah I hear you... The thing is that SL5 was released after the show was recorded, which usually happens on Thursday (SL5 was released mid-day Friday), so the show can be edited, encoded, show notes done, published, etc by Friday/Saturday.
But the SL5 story IS the top story for next week...

From one of the creators, it is signal R (like a pirate).

@David Fowler: Doh! It looks like our second guess was wrong, thanks for the correction!

LOL! I love how that's a perfectly understandable phonetic description.
Thanks!

Is the liveSDK "live"? Can it be used for production WP7 apps now?

Jenson's "8 traits" session at BUILD has had the Windows 8 app store sales projections, as quoted here (01:53) redacted.
The figures are wrong. "point zero five" 0.05 "million dollars" is incorrect.
$1 app gives a margin of about 70c (ignoring MS bonus efficiencies), so a market share of 0.05% gives 200,000 units sold and $140,000.00 profit.
I think the speech writer didn't realise that 0.05 is actually 5%, since all the math is out by a factor of 10.
