Microsoft’s Patrick Foley sits down with Stardock’s Kirk Windisch to talk about the user experience with Impulse on Windows 7, and how Impulse was developed with Microsoft applications.
I'm feeling guilty of a highjack here, sorry.
I would like to know what was intersting, new or note worthy from this video. anybody feeling like sharing something.
Seemed like a just basic overview of what Impulse does, then a lot of dev speak of runtimes and C sharp and junk, a little demo of how to use it to purchase/download/install stuff.
LOL at the devspeak.
Great vid though. Keep up the good work, Stardock!
1. Nice to know what Kirk looks and sounds like.
2. I didn't know what Impulse Reaktor was.
3. Didn't know a Builder module was planned for Impulse.
Thought the interviewer was a bit weak/tame...but he's a geek, not an NHL star.
Great interview. It's really cool to hear about how you guys built out your platform. One of the things I love about Impulse is that it just works. My games are always there when I want them on whatever machine I'm using and the updates just flow.
I do fail to understand the animus towards Silverlight. It installs and runs without an issue on every machine I've ever used. I watched the Summer and Winter Olympics using it and If I remember correctly, I watched a couple of Sunday Night Football games when I was out on the road.
Builder sounds like a great way to get even more Indie games available on Impulse. With a 3rd quarter release, the holiday season ought to have even more goodies available for us to buy.
thank you (he says sheepishly)
The guy from MS seems to think the progress indicator in the taskbar is the most impressive feature of Impulse.
Great video
Liked it. Thanks very much.
For those who did not comprehend, this video was only for those of us rated "sharpest tools in the shed."
Seemed more for windows users . . . {ducks} - <G>
