Tangent, but Hanselman, you, Meijers, et al are slowly but effectively changing the perception of Microsoft amongst my "live by the iPhone die by the MacBook" friends. Candor like this, good tooling[1] and community involvement/outreach. Y'all are already significantly more open than the Apple ecosystem - stick with it and my die-hard GPL fanboy friends might be the next converts[2] ;).
[1] Just absolutely fantastic tooling, every cent of that VS Ultimate license was worth it in engineering hours saved in one project just with the historical debugging function alone.
[2] Haha, fat chance. Some of them went to law school just so they could work at the FSF. Either way, you guys are on a roll. Take out the Telemetry in Win10 though, you've almost captured the hearts, minds and market of that dev-demographic, but "Customer Service Profile Reporting" skeeves engineers out.
