I was using the alternate stream as the main one was unavailable. Now it's available, and after 5 minutes of loading, it's finally streaming smoothly in HD via the Silverlight applet.

Yawn, more apps then any other App Store at opening.
No **** Sherlock so there should be. Apple started it and had to get developers on bored, apple followed soon after and now developers now the worth several years latter.

I really need to update my thinkpad drivers - I wish my trackpad worked that well!

Over 30 million songs in Xbox music
Spotify July 2011 just 18million songs (can't find anything more recent on google)

theheyes · 25 Oct 2012 at 16:53

Xbox music has been good for me so far. Heard an ad about every 5 or 6 songs and there is a good selection.

Glaucus · 25 Oct 2012 at 17:12

Bit boring for me, other than a few stats haven't seen anything new, but then I've read the blogs, followed the tablets, watched most of the other keynotes.

Is it still running or has it finished? How was it ?

Just finished.

Pretty. Good if you haven't followed it, but allready seen all of it. Can't say I. Surprised by that. Thought they may preview some of their app partners, but they didn't. Also thought we may get an idea on surface pro and price but again no.

Wp8 on Monday will be more insightful as they've kept some stuff very tightly wrapped.

theheyes · 25 Oct 2012 at 17:22

There is a Surface webcast to come yet. 1030 PT whatever that is here.
