In the past I'd thought a device namespace would mainly do something like translate maj:min on host to maj:min in a namespace. But after seeing the demo twice, I agree with the need for an extra "active" vs "inactive" state, with buffering in the "inactive" state. That's something we don't have in any other namespace and sets devicens apart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
