Uh...It's called news. Are you saying that any product announcement or self promotion by SD about Stardock software on WC is also considered advertising?

If you read the thread title and still opened the thread then you have only yourself to blame.

Seriously?  It's probably just better if you ignore it then.

Gotta agree with Wiz and the badges on this one. I thought it was interesting, although I didn't understand any of the dev speak.

Fences looks really cool, if I actually used desktop icons I would be all over it (organization nut). But my tabbed dock is awesome too.

Cconsidering that it's probably only available on microsoft's web page until someone rips it and posts it to youtube or something, it shouldn't be even remotely surprising that it requires silverlight.

Well spoken, by someone who clearly hasn't got clue what he's talking about.

Yeah, it's surprising Microsoft uses its own products, who would have thought that...

I enjoyed this a good deal! Like Steffie, the Devspeak left this old man in the dust, but as for the rest, I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks .

Seemed like a just basic overview of what Impulse does, then a lot of dev speak of runtimes and C sharp and junk, a little demo of how to use it to purchase/download/install stuff.

1. Nice to know what Kirk looks and sounds like.

2. I didn't know what Impulse Reaktor was.

3. Didn't know a Builder module was planned for Impulse.

Thought the interviewer was a bit weak/tame...but he's a geek, not an NHL star.

Great interview. It's really cool to hear about how you guys built out your platform.  One of the things I love about Impulse is that it just works. My games are always there when I want them on whatever machine I'm using and the updates just flow.

I do fail to understand the animus towards Silverlight. It installs and runs without an issue on every machine I've ever used. I watched the Summer and Winter Olympics using it and If I remember correctly, I watched a couple of Sunday Night Football games when I was out on the road. 

Builder sounds like a great way to get even more Indie games available on Impulse. With a 3rd quarter release, the holiday season ought to have even more goodies available for us to buy.

The guy from MS seems to think the progress indicator in the taskbar is the most impressive feature of Impulse.

Liked it. Thanks very much.

For those who did not comprehend, this video was only for those of us rated "sharpest tools in the shed."
