Well Beth I think Windows Client Application geeks will stick with WPF if they intened to keep their skills distant from Web apps.

Oh jeez!  I saw Billy Hollis present at VSLive in Austin in 2007.  Ever since, I can't even read an article he does.  His presentations were SOOO bad!

Hi Scott,

Too bad you caught Billy on a bad day a couple years ago, we all have them. I've seen Billy present many times and I've always learned a thing or two from him. What I really like though is his "practical programmer" mentality.
