So I said I didn't want to write that last post and I probably shouldn't have judging by some of your reactions :) I'm in the middle of being at the lake with my family on this Memorial Day Weekend but I did want to say something better than what I said in the last post.

I didn't want to have to write this post . I've been disapointed for well over a week about this and I've phoned Jeremy Miller twice to discuss my displeasure.

Occasionally Connected Service Oriented Smart Clients Another blast from the past... I'm reminded again of OCC here at the MVP Summit with the lack of connectivity. I can't even maintain a cellular connection two flights up to Robert's room never mind create business logic to depend on it. Connectivity...
