I'd love to try it out too.

Realize that I'm really bad at marketing. Trying to work on it.

It lets you take a picture of video games and shows price comparisons for the major buy lists.

Cancel your subscription. It's the least you can do.

You read her qualifications and history? You still decided to write this comment?

I consider your comment harassment. I think it should be removed.

Slippery slope don't you think?

I had the opposite experience. DotPeek created much better code. using statements were decompiled as usings, JustDecompile produced try/finally blocks.

One of JetBrains primary products is Resharper. It's a must have add on for Visual Studio. If we're going to be subjective I'd say no other IDE gets close to the combination of Visual Studio and Resharper.

We use Durandal as our SPA framework and we love it. So glad to see this. Rob knows how to write a framework.

He is saying that real time text translation has been there. Microsoft has the translator app that will display the translated text as an "augmented" overlay when you hold the camera up.

Rob is a brilliant guy. We've used his WPF/Silverlight mvvm framework for years. Our consulting company uses durandal.js for current projects. It looks like Durandal v2 is now called Aurelia. I have high hopes for it, he knows how to write a framework.

They had Windows 8. Then Windows 8.1. Now it's Windows 8.1 Update 1. (Another terrible name in a long line of terrible Microsoft product names)

I'm not sure why he is comparing knockout to angular. Angular is an entire framework and knockout is a small piece for binding. Seems like Durandal vs Angular would be a better comparison.

I just finished a large project with Durandal that went great. I fell in love with it. I'm eager to try Angular on the next one to see how they stack up.

If you don't care about IE8 you can get rid of the observables on your models with the ES5 plugin. http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2013/05/20/knockout-es5-a-pl...

We use this working remotely but we use it just as much sitting side by side in the office. Love this app.

Using Durandal/Knockout on our current project. Entire team is very happy.

Many window users faced Silverlight quality issues themselves due to their .Net frameworks not being up to date. For the best performance, they needed to download the .Net 4.0 SDK in Windows, which is something the average Netflix customer would not be willing to do.

Silverlight doesn't require the .Net framework on the machine. Not sure what performance issues he is talking about but Silverlight has better streaming features and performance than flash or html5.

Chrome for iOS is just a wrapper around Safari.

DRM, better streaming, C# and the .Net framework

Really enjoying grid layout. I wish it was well supported. Makes so much more sense than what we have today.

Neuromancer and Snow Crash always inspired me.

Entity Framework has entity sql right? You don't have to use linq?

I'm working on a Reddit app in Xaml.

I have the Samsung reference tablet from Build. The stylus works very very well. Being able to lay my hand on the screen and write accurately is great.

Nice work xpaulbettsx! Great to see a Caliburn.Micro getting some props. We're using it on a large WPF app now.

How many people were on the team? Did you let Phil write any Xaml?

I always shake my head a bit when I see people mention Zune like this. The hardware (and software on device) was fantastic. Much better than the iPods at the time imho. Look at the reviews on Amazon sometime. http://www.amazon.com/Zune-Video-MP3-Player-Platinum/dp/B002...

The Zune software is beautiful. It's a little heavy on occasion but much better than iTunes (again heavy imho). Zune pass is a great music service as well. It's not as unique as it once was since Spotify and others let you play what you want on demand but it's price similarly and you get to own a few of the songs each month.

The new await/async in C# 5 is beautiful. Just try/catch around an await and suddenly async is easy to read and handle errors.

Wonder how are they going to keep people from gaming the name reservation system?

Apple wouldn't release something like this because they are a black box. At least Microsoft is blogging about the process and eliciting feedback along the way.

How is Azure less secure?
