best one yet… the others have been pretty ‘meh’ although diet coke was amusing… I really enjoyed this one

Right… What professional environment can’t or won’t pay for professional development tools

And as Paul thurrot noted VS 2010 will still work… Rafael Rivera also has provided a better look at these changes as well

(i’m not arguing their usefulness i’m just sayin…) it’s not like desktop apps have been booming these last few years… people are for the most part using variants of programs developed sometime in the 90s… the only new desktop apps I’ve added in the 21st century are iTunes (no longer use it), Zune (won’t need to use it w/ Win8), and Amazon Kindle (already a metro app in Store)

if nothing else it’s interesting from “times are a changin” perspective???

MS has really streamlined these last 2 years… MSN is one of the last rotting distractions they need to cut off

although Microsoft has hinted at VERY general ranges for what they expect different device types to cost they have not announced prices for their PARTNERS products… in part b/c actual products have not even been announced so lets everybody hold on and not start throwing made up prices around

I would love to see a simultaneous launch of Halo 4 across Windows 8 (sorry if you’re a win8 hater) and Xbox (I’m not saying you should be able to vs. pc and console… they would be separate communities as far as matchmaking is concerned) in conjunction Forge should be a separate and free download for PC that allows editing maps for either the PC or console. There should also be a separate and free Halo theater app where they play time delayed matches and allow you to edit your own videos…
I guess my point with all of this is that Halo has some great tools that work okay on the console (Forge, theater, etc.) but would work even better and benefit from existing on the Win8
