Ah, Phone gap ....

I was trying to follow the phone gap instruction on this page, but found that it didn't work.  Later I realized that I need to put the CordovaStarter-1.9.0.zip file under "C:\Users\{My account}\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#", and then on the Visual Studio 2010, under "Visual C#", I use "CordovaStarter", and vala, I am able to start building a phone gap application.

PhoneGap, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7 SDK

I was trying to do something with Phone Gap, but I don't want to pollute my regular work Windows 7 environment.  So I switched to Windows 8, and tried to install Windows Phone 7 SDK,  which was required by Phone Gap.  I got error message.  Bummer.  And then I saw that there's 7.1.1 SDK Update.  So I tried that one, and also failed.  So screw it, I am at least not setting it up on Windows 8.
