Great session. Entertaining and informative. Much mor interesting than the typical death by PowerPoint. If I had one complaint, I would say maybe lose some of the 'twitter' stuff: there was a minute where you didn't say anything and we had already got the idea, I think. Loved the conversation with Vader though. Impressive. I don't have any criticism of the technical content, it was great as always. Since not many people know much about MVVM (according to your straw poll last night), how about an couple of intro WPF sessions? WPF Basics up to MVVM?

Really great session - can't wait to have you down in Oxford to enlighten the guys down there.
Mike Killey
I thought that the presentation was a masterpiece. Sometimes you come away from a presentation forgetting some of what you were shown. But through the 'Empire Network 4.0' application I can remember everybit of what Richard showed us
Stuart Wells
Very good overview of some of the new features in SL4, put together in a 'entertaining' manner - for someone working for the dark side I am not sure whether he should of been using Flash - or otherwise what he is trying to say about Microsoft - but in any event, the path to the dark side did seem an easy path!
Tim Hill
Great demo app, and entertaining too.
Neil Barnwell
I enjoyed the creative use of the Silverlight features. I still think I'm lacking a basic "what's Silverlight really aiming at?" eureka-moment, but in terms of an illustration of the new features, this was great. Of course it didn't hurt that there were a few good heckling opportunities...
Matthew Bowen
Very interesting, would consider moving to the dark side
Ami Bening
Glad to see a Silverlight 4 presentation so early, good overview and very informative.
