Microsoft’s Channel9 Video about Stardock’s Impulse

i don't want to install silverlight, do you have an other link?

thought I opted out of ads with the subscription???

Uh...It's called news. Are you saying that any product announcement or self promotion by SD about Stardock software on WC is also considered advertising?

Very nice

Haha, sorry, I couldn't resist. Please don't send your assasins for me, Microsoft.

If you read the thread title and still opened the thread then you have only yourself to blame.

I was expecting some interesting news worthy something or another instead I get a havta download some crappy flash wantabee in order to see it.

blatant and bold if you ask me, shame on you guys.

Seriously?  It's probably just better if you ignore it then.

Interesting video: subject matter well explained and demonstrated.

Gotta agree with Wiz and the badges on this one. I thought it was interesting, although I didn't understand any of the dev speak.

Fences looks really cool, if I actually used desktop icons I would be all over it (organization nut). But my tabbed dock is awesome too.

yuk, yuk ID, had no choice but to ignore it, was it really interesting? I did click on the post for a reason, I was hoping to be informed and enlightened and instead...

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Cconsidering that it's probably only available on microsoft's web page until someone rips it and posts it to youtube or something, it shouldn't be even remotely surprising that it requires silverlight.

Well spoken, by someone who clearly hasn't got clue what he's talking about.

Yeah, it's surprising Microsoft uses its own products, who would have thought that...

I enjoyed this a good deal! Like Steffie, the Devspeak left this old man in the dust, but as for the rest, I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks .

I'm feeling guilty of a highjack here, sorry.

I would like to know what was intersting, new or note worthy from this video. anybody feeling like sharing something.

Seemed like a just basic overview of what Impulse does, then a lot of dev speak of runtimes and C sharp and junk, a little demo of how to use it to purchase/download/install stuff.

LOL at the devspeak.

Great vid though. Keep up the good work, Stardock!

1. Nice to know what Kirk looks and sounds like.

2. I didn't know what Impulse Reaktor was.

3. Didn't know a Builder module was planned for Impulse.

Thought the interviewer was a bit weak/tame...but he's a geek, not an NHL star.

Great interview. It's really cool to hear about how you guys built out your platform.  One of the things I love about Impulse is that it just works. My games are always there when I want them on whatever machine I'm using and the updates just flow.

I do fail to understand the animus towards Silverlight. It installs and runs without an issue on every machine I've ever used. I watched the Summer and Winter Olympics using it and If I remember correctly, I watched a couple of Sunday Night Football games when I was out on the road. 

Builder sounds like a great way to get even more Indie games available on Impulse. With a 3rd quarter release, the holiday season ought to have even more goodies available for us to buy.    

thank you (he says sheepishly)

The guy from MS seems to think the progress indicator in the taskbar is the most impressive feature of Impulse.

Great video

Liked it. Thanks very much.

For those who did not comprehend, this video was only for those of us rated "sharpest tools in the shed."

Seemed more for windows users . . . {ducks} - <G>
