One of the things I really like about Store and MC, and I hate about Envy,
is the *need* to be connected to the central repository while developing
code. If you only ever develop code on a desktop machine that you never
take anywhere, it wouldn't be as big a deal, but personally I use a laptop
for my main development machine (and have used laptops for this for the
past 7 years). Being able to pull the network plug and continue working is
essential to the style of development I do.
Later,
Jon
