This is what i got after forcing the jsonp callback: "Product sold out! Thanks for shopping."

It said Sold Out for me as well 10 mins ago, but I retried again and it worked :) #paystonotgiveuptoosoon

We upped the number available by 10% after it sold out, but then it sold out again in a few minutes. It's sold out for good now, I promise.

Will these kits be sold anywhere else? It's a bit of a shame for those of us that just got a bunch of timeouts before it was sold out completely.

MS may do another run of these, but we don't know. The other tools on modern.ie are genuinely useful too. We tested Swish using browserstack to resolve a thorny IE8 problem.

You need to up the number by 1000% People are giving up on Microsoft because of the licenses. Personally, I think that .Net MVC is possibly the best platform to develop for, but since it's burdened with licenses, I'm forced down an Open Source route.

The fundamental issue this doesn't address is that developers don't care about Microsoft any more. I've worked in the Microsoft world for nearly two decades, it was how I earned my money, now people are offering £80,000 a year roles for JavaScript.

Well I guess that means I'll give up on trying and get back to work.

Me, too, making iOS apps. And continuing to wonder if Windows 8 is really a turd for development.

Probably not the effect MS wanted here.

swish.com appears to be completely down at this time.

I was able to checkout just now.
