- michaelwww 13y agoThis video was on reddit/r/programming recently but only got two upvotes. I feel it's worth more attention than that. http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Text-Editor-from-SkyDrive-with-HTML5 http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Text-Editor-from-SkyDrive-wit... Edit: It's had almost 30,000 views, so it's getting attention.
- DevKoala 13y agoI had missed it. Thank you.

- RyanZAG 13y agoSuprisingly enough, this really is the release announcement. This is their marketing department. Scott Hanselman ... Microsoft employee. It's Microsoft's new marketing strategy - they try to promote 'organic growth and acceptance' of new products through social media and viral advertising. I don't believe it works very well - it always comes across as a bit false and pollutes the real comment environment, giving viewers the strange feeling that something is wrong. It also creates a lot of antagonism when paid employees actually argue with detractors, etc.
- axefrog 13y agoWhat a load of rubbish. Scott Hanselman has been blogging on these sorts of things for years before he ever joined Microsoft, and always tries to maintain his independence in his blogging and podcasting regardless of employer.
- shanselman 13y agoRespectfully, that's nonsense. I don't even work in their department. I've been online for 20+ years, blogging for like 12 years and I've worked at MS for 6. The blog is a blog. This post is just a post. I get in trouble for blogging a few times a year, and that suits me just fine. It's just a job.
- yuhong 13y agoOT, but on the .NET Framework versioning, the support lifecycle of 2.0/3.0/3.5 is a mess that needs to be cleaned up: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696944 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696944 The lifecycle policy of 3.5 SP1 should also be applied to 3.0 SP2 and 2.0 SP2, for example.
- shanselman 13y agoThanks, I've sent this note to the Lifecycle guy and I'll get you a response.
- jamshedd 13y agoThanks for the feedback Yuhong. As you correctly pointed out .NET 2.0 SP2 and .NET 3.0 SP2 are sub-components of .NET 3.5 SP1 so it makes sense to have these on the same lifecycle. The good news is that this is already the case, the Knowledge Base Article 2696944 clarifies that when .NET 3.5 SP1 is installed the same lifecycle will apply to .NET 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 too. This is the relevant snippet from that KB article - ...snip... However, Microsoft will provide support for the .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 components for customers who install the .NET Framework 3.5 for as long as the .NET Framework 3.5 remains in support. ...snip... Thanks, Jamshed Program Manager, .NET Framework Fundamentals team
- yuhong 13y agoBut why 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 has a different lifecycle if 3.5 SP1 is installed vs if it is not installed?

- mcgwiz 13y agoEr, is that why the screenshots use Google Chrome?
- willsun 13y agoThe official release announcement (at the bottom of the post): http://blogs.windows.com/skydrive/b/skydrive/archive/2013/07/30/creating-the-most-beautiful-and-powerful-way-to-view-share-and-search-your-photos-with-html5.aspx http://blogs.windows.com/skydrive/b/skydrive/archive/2013/07...
- chr1 13y agoIn http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/3-314 http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/3-314 around 00:54:40 Anders Hejlsberg mentions that there is a team in Switzerland working on that editor, and it is written in TypeScript.
