wisnia Good to know that VS 2010 B2 will have the keyboard shortcut for the zooming feature. Once I was looking for it everywhere and couldn’t find but now I know I just wasn’t here

pjhacker Guys. You need to update the site. The TFS offer is $10.00 USD per user per month if you are in BizSpark. We offer no free TFS hosting.
Thanks

Dan Hey Paul, apologies for this, we read Martin's post incorrectly, this was our fault and we've updated the description.
Apologies again,

gbrayut We are an ASP.NET shop and have created automated functional tests using WatiN to drive the browser, MbUnit as the testing framework, and Gallio as the test runner. WatiN lets you test a site exactly as it appears in the browser (IE, with Firefox and Chome in beta) and MbUnit/Gallio let you create great reports that include screenshots and rich text formatting. Highly recommended.

Bas How do I go about figuring out why I can't download any C9 videos anymore? It only works on my Windows 7 machine, not on my (Vista) notebook in the same network where it worked just fine only a few weeks ago.

Dan Interesting stuff, I'll look into it

littleguru Loved it!
The Dream.Build.Play games look all nice! Sweet competition. -

Dan Hey Bas,
Just thinking out loud here, maybe we make this into a "debug your network" piece? If your'e interested, let's setup an hour this week that works for both of our time zones and figure it out
