  In defense of the programmers who worry about MSFT dropping Silverlight, there is the unexplained windows mobile failure. What could make more sense than running the .net framework, C# and WPF on any phone that android can run on? And yet Microsoft execs decided to bail. Another reason for concern w/Silverlight is the lack of happenings in the WPF space. Unless I work with WPF every day, I find it hard to use.  It is almost like windows phone was rushed to market. First they needed to make it easier to write a WPF app. Then add async to silverlight. On top of that improved foundation, build WP7.

  @LukasM: thanks, turns out the SQL Azure EF and WP7 dev wiki time codes were flipped.  Corrected

• 

  @Kevin Dwyer: everyone loves Scott but sadly, he isn't local. 

• 

  @SteveRichter: what makes writing a WPF application hard?  When you say "Async" are you refering to the async CTP released at PDC or the async programming pattern?

  Scott and Dan are hilarious. I think Dan should drive over to Scott's house to film ( with the Channel 9 guy in his trunk).
