Hi John,

>Interesting info on the future of MS 10

I appreciate that possibly MS is possibly in the process of starting to consider the idea that they could eventually stop in some way to drive their follower-base nut... Great start.

>but how does it solve the SMB 1 vs SMB 2 issues?

No idea either. Not my cup of tea anyway as I have stopped using shared dbfs a long, long time ago.

>Converting to XAML - not so easy?*

Not a chance that I start. But the idea that MS might start to consider their legacy developers as "cannon fodder" is good news indeed.
