Ah you know I think that David just pushed the wrong button - the MS mobile dev community is still a little sore from the beating we took on that one.

Oh the sheltered life you live. Break out of the MS bubble for a while and watch what happens in the real world. Even some dev shops are stuck on VS2008 in the same way as some enterprises are on WinXP. <rant> If you do anything related to the old Windows Mobile platform, for example, you have to use VS2008 - and no, there are some cases where we can't just build a Windows Phone version. Microsoft officially screwed us when killing Windows Mobile as there is no alternative for line of business applications that require peripherals and/or ruggedized devices :( </rant> Nick Randolph | Built to Roam Pty Ltd | Microsoft MVP - Windows Phone Development | +61 412 413 425 | @btroam The information contained in this email is confidential.
