Nifty. It's kind of like Mac's quick launch bar.

StyleCop was released several months ago. It's the documentation and SDK that was released, right?

Excellent website. Fast, usually accurate responses. The right responses bubble up to the top thanks to voting. Works great.

Cool. Just be sure not to use this for anything serious; using undocumented APIs results in code that doesn't upgrade well over time and may have unknown side-effects. Those APIs are left undocumented for a reason.

Kind of silly to kick this. I mean, the article isn't even an article, it's just a "here's a bunch of code to make a web browser desktop app using the built-in WebBrowser control".

The bell tolls for Flash, and Silverlight isn't far behind

I'm curious to hear what Silverlight devs think of this. As a long time SL developer myself, it took a lot of pain coming to the realization that Silverlight-on-the-web is dead. But now that the evidence is clear, I hope SL devs will move their skills to other platforms. Win8 Metro is a natural choice, with it being a XAML+.NET framework subset, just like Silverlight was.
Silverlight’s Broken Promise

He's dead on. SL is not the cross-platform solution that was promised. It's not really MS's fault, either; SL and other 3rd party platforms are outlawed on devices that MS doesn't control. End result is that SL isn't cross platform. It can't be unless MS created some SL-to-X compiler, where X is the iOS/JavaScript/Android.

.NET vs Windows 8

There are some misunderstandings in the article. While it's true that WinRT apps are based on principles derived from Silverlight (e.g. sandboxed environment, XAML, async by default), the reason that Silverlight is "hidden" is because the WinRT environment doesn't support web plugins deliberately. Everything must run in the WinRT sandbox, and Silverlight does not.
