DISQUS

hope you good. glad to see you back

i am everywhere and could not be easier to find..

Heh, you got pwn good there Joe..glad she came here to comment. i also watched the film.

But Sheila Dvorak?. any relation with THE Dvorak we all know?.

I guess that this means Moonlight 2.0 RTW for PDC and Moonlight 3.0 beta for MIX10 is quite possible. i have tested it on the windows side (XP, Vista, 7) and it works. i had to download a file vorbis first because since i didn't had any, but it works.

Thank god. i thought you suddenly hated me :'( because of thelittle pun in my first comment here at you expense.

weird, did i not had posted a comment here and in a previous post?.

hahaha...i was a little surprised, you know,i thought you would be having a session in MIx09. sad to see it was not the case, you know?. (see what i did there?)

i see what happened.. nevermind.

Totally unrelated Migue. but i find weird that the last 3 times i visited your blog it triggered the Data Execution prevention mode in IE8?... weird, just wondering

silverlight 3 will include a fit client, you will can also do apps by doing silverlight enabled gadgets, using the live framework, using live mesh desktop and finally by packing tight everything in a xap you can also turn them into .exe's in windows if you use desklighter. the only problem left with that last approach is how to hide the chrome. a htmlapp like way would be the best approach for that.

in the case of moonlight i guess that is about making a app that can automate the process or adding a plugin or something like that monodevelop for the same effect. but given that pretty much anyone can easily reproduce the moonlight desklets. it is a very viable idea to automate it somehow.


the idea i had is also the opposite. a way to analyze a .net/wpf app and that it could suggest how to replace the wpf elements with moonlight and gtk# "equivalent" elements. that could be something for the future. windows 7 will have a lot of .net/wpf apps. visual studio and expression 3 will be 100% .net/wpf apps from what i understand. office 14 will use some of it too and office 15 could also be 100% .net/wpf. so even if my suggestion might be too out there now. at least it is a interesting concept or so i think so.

chalalo?

que buen nombre y que buen blog eh.. bookmarked

Congratulations Miguel. i guess that mean a pre-beta of moonlight 2 is still on track for mix09

microsofty or microsoftie

I just took a look at it and i can testify that it is well translated and they are fortunately using a International Spanish.

Well done Pete and Congratulations.

ops. i guess scribefire is actually the only good free choice for mac and linux. just saw Zoundry ended up being windows only in the end

This is paid software?. REALLY?.

tsk....i guess that having Windows Live Writer has Windows users too pampered. this don`t holds a candle to it obviously. but i actually think zoundry raven or scribefire are better choices for the mac and linux since it is free and looks to have more features than Blogo.

oh well.

You plan to Update the Windows Gadget too or it is already updated?

Congrats to Markus. no wonder he is a Asp.Net Legend.... i bet many still wonder how he managed to develop plentyoffish and make it so stable and scalable. it is shocking.

I remember saying all the way back when Microsoft bid for yahoo that if yahoo resisted be bought they would crumble and that the effect of they not getting bought would send them to a price lower than before the microsoft bid...

Looks who was right again. poor yahoo.

now i really would not buy yahoo if i were microsoft. i would buy Ask and AOL. buying both would cost less than 10 billion and it would add a 8% of search marketshare and would pump up Ad Center with everything AOL and Ask got. i think that would be a better idea right now.

Yes. Paltalk express is a perfect example of what yahoo live tried to do. but unlike yahoo. paltlak dev team knew that Flex alone would not cut it. that is why Paltalk Express uses a Flex/java implementation. so i think the problem was the Flex only backend. more because back when Yahoo Live got out. Flash 10 was not out. that alone would have meant 20% better performance.

errr. plurk is already #3 in social messaging just behind frienfeed... so it is doing very well. on identi.ca. yeah you are right on that one

The problem was that they didn`t anticipated how expensive the project would be and that Flex was not the right way to do it. i remember getting into a yahoo live channel packed with people and seeing all the resources of the PC getting eaten up completely to a point where i had to kill the browser in order to left the yahoo live room.

Oh..i get it. you made a ironic post by using many flaming and linkbaiting techniques play along in what may look like a just a rant.


there are many problems with your opinions. more in the part with the "platform killers".

Rejaw is nothing alike to twitter but to pownce.

Plurk is actually already third place in social messaging just behind friendfeed and it don`t even has an API. so i guess it may be around for a while.


Scribefire is the first of its kind in terms of blogging software and it is #1 in the mac and linux since it is integrated to firefox. it is #2 in windows because it is pretty much impossible for it to compete with the power Windows Live Writer. but other than that being #1 in two OS platforms and #2 in the main OS platform is quite an acomplishment.

so yeah. your logic is quite bogus.

It is ridiculous because of the footprint of the install. as i pointed out in my reply. even a full install of ubuntu would be crammed into 4gbs. i am not saying the regular install. but a full one. there are 1-2 gbs of difference on them. it was ridiculous because a lot of the tech that allows to Windows 7 WDM cut memory to half and scale didn`t existed and because of the whole troubles that were not only microsoft fault or microsoft fault back when vista launched. for starters. the concept of Netbooks was still not out either. The development time and details IS RELEVANT because you cannot compare what had to be done with vista with what has done with windows 7 or what Ubuntu does or what apple does since both use a incremental release approach that was thought YEARS in advance and that employs an entirely different process of doing things. Windows 7 roadmap started even before Vista was released and the process was thought out from half the development of vista to vista release. the development then was fully started as Vista was in RC. i know this don`t matters to the end user. but i then wonder why no one bats a eyelash with OS X that took up to TIger to get actually any good because when OS X was released and for the first release was quite a disaster and with Ubuntu that took up to Hardy Heron to be usable because Warty Warhog was close to being a bad practical joke in terms of their claims. oh right. because their are only 1/11 of Windows Marketshare and because they got entirely different minority targets that are easier to archive. and neither of those got government, legal and corporative restrictions in terms of development. so how can they be comparable?. they are not.

On the other hand. even with your extreme bias and research lazyness. you still not as bad as most bloggers in Gizmodo and Engadget. yes. that is a compliment. i mean. i still take time to read your posts and reply to you. ;)

oh. and i personally have installed lots of vista starter in the latest Eee PC`s . (Legal OEM i Swear!) so. the vista - netbook comment is not overheard knowledge.
