Microsoft Courier makes Apple Tablet look silly - http://www.examiner.com/x-8134-...

"You may already be asking yourself why. Well, for one, the Microsoft Courier actually exists and two, wait until you see what Microsoft has cooked up."

I like the actually exists part. that has to be a pretty big selling feature.
- Kenton
@Kenton: That usually gives an edge. Though if Apple announced that their iTablet is available for pre-order with only some teaser-logo to show and an one-liner that bashes Microsoft, it would probably outsell due to the dedicated fan-base. ;)
- Jemm
LOL, good point.
- Kenton
What Apple Tablet?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Hehe I love how something that doesn't exist makes something that doesn't exist look silly.

Actually, Apple would sell because they have a track record of shipping. How many times have we drooled over some tech demo by Microsoft, yet could never actually use it?
- Lon
Well, Apple tablet rumors have been going on since 2002 or earlier. I'll believe it when I see it. Same with the Courier.
- Rodfather
Is it just me or is naming it after an iconic fixed-width font a bad idea?
- Stephen Mack

I don't like the fold out idea at all.
- RAPatton
@Stephen: Don't worry - that's probably just a code name. Their marketing probably comes up with a name like Microsoft Wireless Mobile Notebook Ultimate 2010... :)
- Jemm
I don't think anyone doubts that some sort of Apple Tablet is on the way. Anyway I'm more likely to get that thing than an iTablet.
- Amit Morson
There is something that both tablets have in common: I will not be able to afford either one.
- Fleagle
I'm much more intrigued at Courier than the rumor of what Apple's Tablet will look like. Not least of which because I think that pen+fingers is an awesome input paradigm (and I can use it -- among other things -- as an infinite sketchbook). I hope that it's got good pressure sensitivity. And Stephen, they might be naming it after the more traditional meaning of courier as in messenger.
- Chieze Okoye
That said, Fleagle's point is a very good one.

The UI mockups were very intriguing, but, come on people, this is all vapor ware until we get a product announcement at LEAST.

The dual screen "book" format has a lot of advantages. particularly if you could fold it in half and just work off one screen at a time. Say for watching a movie or reading.

Selective Unit Testing - Costs and Benefits - http://www.dotnetkicks.com/unittes...
Test Driven Development is widely regarded as a hallmark technique of professional software development, but should you really do it all the time? Steve Sanderson argues that unit tests yield significant practical business value only for certain kinds of code. This blog post suggests what might be the underlying forces that determine whether unit tests will justify the long-term expense of creating and maintaining them. These ideas are then applied to structuring an ASP.NET MVC application.

Windows Server Core : Server Core, application development and FxCop - http://blogs.technet.com/server_...
"The original Windows Server 2008 Server Core did not include .NET -- and that limited the things you could use it for. In Windows Server 2008 R2, Server Core includes .Net 2.0 and .Net v3.5 (neither are installed by default), which opens a new set of possibilities only available in full Server installs until now. Server Core can now run a wide variety of managed applications, including hosting ASP.NET, WCF, WF, Windows Services and Console Applications."
