I'm in way too many right now just trying to cherry pick some that can make some ground. I hope that I am one of the ones who helps to breed the success! I suppose my point is two-fold: 1. We have to succeed for anyone to care -- saying you are a great place for startups doesn't make it so 2. One of our keys to success will be to bring a unique perspective that other places can't. We might not make the cool new, new thing that all the techies ( e.g., me ;-) ) love, but we can come up with something that the other 98% of America wants because we are not the hard-core tech city and I think we tend to come up with more practical, mainstream solutions.

(but i promise i do get your angle too) good points, but if i could take your usual cynic ‘tude’…we all just need to be part of building sustainable and profitable startups that are growing and succeeding and thriving. there are so many ideas/concepts out there in memphis, but many of them are needing implementation and funding help. i realize that these are cool seeds that continue to be planted in hopes that something will emerge from all this, but i guess id just like to take 1-2-3 of these ideas and really see it too fruition. maybe getting a swat team of diverse business backgrounds which is more important at this stage then race gender/etc…are you in?

As for installation and configuration, in a couple of weeks, we are going to ship a complete new version that integrates into Visual Studio, in a way no extention did before, includung Silverlight, and we believe that with this version we are going to do away with installation chllenages. Our business model is the simplest there is - all 58 basic WinForms controls are free and opensource, and will stay this way for ever. Premuims such as mash up, commet , redundency - cost, very reasonably per deployment. Bottom line - if you can do with the basics, extend and custemize yourself, VWG is free for you, and will remain this way. Enjoy Visual WebGui Cheers Navot Thanks
