PLEASE can you include all of your blog posts in your RSS feed rather than just the first paragraph? I want to read it in my reader, not have to click-through here.

Agreed on jamiet's comment. Full content in the feed would be nice.

For what it's worth, I don't do my Surface development the way you describe above. I have VS, Blend, etc running on my laptop. In VS, I create new build configurations called "Debug on Surface" and "Release on Surface." Those output the project to a shared folder on Surface, run it on Surface, and use the VS remote debugger for debugging. Works great, I don't have to install anything on Surface, and I can work on projects from the coffee shop by switching to the standard "Debug" build profile and using the simulator.

Love the stories, gives great insight into what you do and how things work, keep them coming!

How do you transport the surface for demos? No plans for a smaller laptop driven device for easy of travel?

re: RSS excerpts. I'm not sure how to make that happen with the software we're using, but I'll poke around and see what I can find... good feedback!

re: Remote debugging. Yeah, some folks here do that as well. Eventually I'd like to see that become the primary configuration because of the flexibility you describe, but it can be pretty cumbersome to set up right now depending on various factors like firewall settings.

re: How we transport. Great question! I can work on a post about that. You'll want pictures though. Tomorrow, 18 Surfaces are arriving at the LA convention center - I'll ping the crew there and see if they can get some good "unboxing" snapshots.

The unit is actually quite portable and easy to ship. It comes palletted with extras of everything needed to port to another location (including the largest static bag ever made :) ). We have taken ours out twice to expos (it's at the Geeks With Blogs booth PDC in LA this week) and it's worked great.

Same here, if it is possible to put the whole post in the RSS feed it would be really helpful.

i am working on a project where Surface's output should be projected and need to understand the best connection possible.

Just two questions: i understand the developer version has 1 s-vga, external monitor and 1 component video output. Which is the resolution of these 3 outputs ? Is it equal and the same of Surface screen (1024x768) ?

thank you,

mario

It's the same as the Surface screen, 1024x768.
