This is Windows Client Developer roundup #24.

The Windows Client Developer Roundup aggregates information of interest to Windows Client Developers, including WPF, Surface, Windows 7, XNA, Windows Forms, Silverlight, Windows Phone and Visual Studio. If you have something interesting you've done or have run across, please send me the URL and brief description via the contact link on my blog.

I'll be heading up to Redmond this week and have a bunch of interesting product team videos planned. Can't wait to post them :)
