Quickstarts anyone?

Got some good feedback from my last post, Mitch said he'd be interested in creating the DirectX managed screensaver, so look for it in the upcoming Whidbey SDK release. Keep those suggestions coming, I promise to follow up on them. I'll be pinging the product teams with the other suggestions, some of them are a little big to be a sample, (Mitch was wondering if they were someone's homework assignment :) ) but maybe someone on the product team would be interested in putting it together as a one time thing.

Speaking of samples, have you folks used the Quickstarts, and do you install them on your local machine or just access on the web from one of the many sites that host them (like http://www.asp.net/tutorials/quickstart.aspx ) Did you even know that you could install the Quickstarts on your machine after you install the .NET Framework SDK. What do you like/not like about them? We just re-wrote the Quickstarts to use ASP.NET Whidbey (which rocks BTW, my favourite feature is that I can change my code on my ISP on the fly without having to recompile my code behind pages each time)

Quick starts love them and hate them, I honestly haven't downloaded one in a while because what I hate about them. Where do they start?

That is actually the most annoying things, in the quick starts, where did you start and why, I actually spend more time on the downloadable ones especially when I was new to .net digging in to a huge mount of code not knowing that I was after main or where was it or Page_Load one things I wish quick start would do better is tell you right away where to start and why ;-)

One of the asp.net ones and I do not remember which didn't use a conventional start page the default.asp

Now try starting C# new language, .net new platform and not knowing where to start.
