  Why do posts get repeated? It happened during the G4 liveblog too.

  Quirk in the system. Refresh and it corrects itself.

  Microsoft never goes hand in hand with the word free (Visual Code).
  Let's see the deal's full detail!

  It's free. There's no more to it.
  
  Windows 10 - free upgrade.
  Visual Studio Express - been free for years.
  Visual Studio Community - full fat version of VS and free.
  Visual Code - also free.
  
  They have lots of other free dev tools too. Don't know what rock you've been living under for the last few years.

  That dude's outfit is cracking me up.
  
  Sport jacket and waist coat over... a white v-neck? With the sleeves rolled up?
  
  Is that what's stylish today?

  Only works with the super douchey low cut V-neck apparently. :)
  
  The V is super saggy though, he may have stretched it even more himself. I think he would've been OK with more of a sport coat and less of dressed-down 3 pc. suit.

  Continuum for phone seems REALLY interesting for Enterprise users who travel a lot. I need to look into this more for sure, but just to be clear, the runtimes for the interface changes are all local to the phone correct? You don't need to connect to a PC/tablet that has the full desktop/tablet versions of these apps right? If true, this will completely change some aspects of business travel if all you need is your phone and a display.
  
  This might be the first step in creating a true BlackBerry successor for the Enterprise....too bad their Nokia phone designs still leave a lot to be desired relative to the competition.

  As a user of one of those Nokia/ Microsoft phones, I'm curious exactly what it is I'm supposed to be desiring of the competition?

  For starters, the sharp edges are awful from both a form and functionality standpoint. Nothing like giving yourself a Charlie horse or poking a hole in your trousers when sitting down. The contrasting colored plastic/black glass screen is pretty awful too from an aesthetic standpoint.
  
  Beyond that, Windows Phone is still the least supported platform from an app standpoint. I see they finally got WatchESPN support, but still missing some of my major go-to apps like BoA mobile banking and HBOGo. Long way to go before Windows Phone makes its way into my pocket for personal use, but I would consider pitching it at work to deploy on an enterprise level with some of these Continuum features.

  Well, if they support Android apps also on WinPhone ...

  Wow.

  Thanks for the coverage Brett Howse & Brandon Chester. I hope there are some pipeline stories coming with a bit more analysis.
  
  This is probably the most excited I've been for Microsoft products.

  YES.
  
  Some of these just make perfect sense. There's nothing special about a phone; it's the screen that matters when displaying content.

  I really like the .NET, SQL and Visual Studio news - many of long whispered wishful thoughts coming true.
