Me, and some other colleagues, found the ENC... class very frustrating, some
might have not.
The fact is that at the beginning the presenter said that the silicon still
had some bugs they where trying to solve. That's fine.
We had a very good first half of the presentation, all the theory and
related stuff, but when we moved to the hands on (with another guy) we saw
that the things where working very sporadically. We had the web server
running on the PIC and when we hit F5 on explorer (refresh) it only really
work 1 time out of 10...
The presenter was really nervous and sweating, some people leave the class.

CONCLUSION

Personally, preciously knowing the fact that the chip had bugs and also that
I've never worked with PIC+Ethernet found the class very interesting. Even
if the chip is not working at the moment I will certainly try to use it on
some of my projects (when it does) I think they said it will be released on
November or so... That class really teached me what can be done with
Ethernet... Bottom line, I think the ENC... is a very promising chip. I have
a couple and I will run some test on them, so yes, I think you can count on
them for your projects.

All 
non-NDA material are usualy posted on some
Microsoft site after a 
while.

At least they did the last couple of years.

But then, it's of 
course interesting what people
*thinks* about it, not just what they 
showed... :-)
