Microsoft's new pitch: 'Every .Net developer is a Windows Phone developer'

No. Most desktop developers don't get PowerManagement. Unless they've managed to abstract all of this away now? :D

I'm interested to know how much of a change this is, is this a new skin or REALLY a brand new operating system? Can I finally send sync on a socket AND use a timeout? ;)

It's a brand new operating system. You might want to look up one of the articles about it that came out a few days ago.

Yea but there wasn't much tech there, only "it is a new OS" which can be interpreted differently if you're talking to techies or consumers, for example.

Only thing they've shown (afaik) is a new UI. What is underneath?
