          Well technically it will release in 2006. The announcement earlier today was for consumer versions only. Businesses and developers won't be impacted by that.

                Please tell the woman in the picture on the main page, to pull her toes in while kicking. She's going to end up breaking her toes, should she hit anything!! ;)

                    Heh. And she should point her stationary foot back a bit so as to get better throughput. :)

                      She's should bend it too, to lower her center of gravity. The lower your center or gravity is, the better balance you've got. The better balance you've got, the harder you can punch and kick. Wobbling and bad balance is often the first sign of tired legs. You should see me on saturdays, after a week of training. My legs are like spaghetti, and it shows. My involuntary John Cleese impersonation kind of gives it away! :-D

                        That's like me trying to do katas right after grappling. It's almost laughable... :-D

                                      # Present your creation via Live Meeting. On or around October 18, 2006, finalists will show the judges how their finished apps work in a live web cast. You'll have a month to get ready for the meeting, and rehearse what you'll say. And remember, you won't ever submit your actual app to Microsoft, so your coding secrets will stay just that—secret.

                                      So what's stopping somebody creating a really clever mockup slideshow of an app for the demo, rather than a real application? -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

                                        So what's stopping somebody creating a really clever mockup slideshow of an app for the demo, rather than a real application?

                                        That's a great point. I have seen companies clinch 100 grand worth of software deals by showing mock up apps which the customers thought to be real.

                                          We're looking for Code Masters - people to create ruthlessly inventive, brutally brilliant apps. :rolleyes: From the inspiration page: Stock ticker . Hmmm, how ruthless and brutal can a stock ticker app be? Music sharing . Seriously? Isn't that, like, illegal, or at least easily abused into illegal activities? Well, anyways, should be interesting to see the results. Maybe I'll port MyXaml! ;P Marc Pensieve Functional Entanglement vs. Code Entanglement Static Classes Make For Rigid Architectures Some people believe what the bible says. Literally.
