·       I've got an HD WMV file, but it does not play properly when streamed over the internet.

·       My browser-based blog posting tools are clunky and difficult to use - there's got to be an easier way!

·       I don’t physically have test devices, how do I develop for so many different screen sizes  on mobile devices?

·       Are you tired of writing wire up code, based on events in WPF or Silverlight, like storyboard1.Begin() on a mouse click event?
