I wish I had a £ for every time I heard "this is gonna chnage the way we interact with the web". I have been using the web since it's birth, through it's early years and now into it's sulky adolesence :)

And they had best re-name it as Pivot is trademarked by Portrait Software Company and is the software used in Windows and Mac to rotate a monitor display to the portrait orientation. Your "talking head" screen display on the news, for instance. They have been turning that out for at least 10 years!

Microsoft has hundreds of Open Source/Open Standard technologies. Don't be surprised. Even the .NET Micro Framework is fully open source, which allows mobile devices and moonlight to be able to tap into mobile .net technologies.
