Even though this is a very simple question, I cannot seem find a definitive authoritative answer to it.
All the sample code I have found is meant to run on Windows 8, but I remember having read somewhere that Media Foundation was included in Vista.
Are some features only available on Windows 8? or can I safely develop for Media Foundation (via SharpDX) knowing that it will run on a Windows 7 machine?
Most of the MediaFoundation API is backward compatible with Windows Vista/7. Though there are a couple of API introduced for Windows 8 (for example MediaEngine) that are not available in Windows 7. You can check if the API is accessible from Windows 7 at the botttom of each interface documentation on MediaFoundation msdn documentation.

I am a Embarcadero RAD Studio user. Mainly C++Builder. I have been using this product for more than 20 years.
But I am tired of all the unresolved bugs. I am stuck with bugs I am sure they will never fix unless I pay to upgrade to their new product as usual.
I recently saw some Qt code. And noticed that objects like QString, QVariant, QRectF, etc... are really more powerful compare to RAD Studio's equivalent objects.
Unfortunately, I don't have an available computer to install a trial version and test to see the differences.
I would appreciate if there are some users who have used the 2 development tools and can tell me if Qt really is better?
Does it have less bugs? Better support?
Is it a RAD environment?
Is it easy to build web server applications, like Intraweb applications?
Does it have its own database, like Interbase? If yes, is it possible to find tools to migrate an Interbase database to a Qt database?

I'm looking at a Qt Extended application built circa 2006-2008 and upgrading to a newer Qt framework. What direction(s) are recommended to upgrade / rewrite this application to get on the latest supported version of some Qt framework?
I assume this is an embedded platform, and in this is case first of all you need to get Linux BSP with newer Qt version (you can look into Buildroot or Yocto or even a distribution like Debian, all of these have excellent support for Qt), and make sure that you have full HW supported for your platform. This is pretty much platform and product dependent, so i can't really be more specific.
After you got the OS up and running, you can start to port your application to port to Qt5. This can be pretty straightforward (see for example https://wiki.qt.io/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5), but can be rather complicated if a lot of Qt Extended related features were used. Again, this depends a lot on the application itself, so hard to give guidelines.

I would like to package an asp.net mvc up for a 1 day demo if possible. The demo can be done on a local machine or I am willing to pay for simple hosting if it is a fast deployment.
Any recommendations?
If you need to demo it locally, you can just use IIS or IIS Express which should let you run in any Windows and any SKU. you can easily install that using Web Platform Installer.
But I would really consider using Microsoft Azure, which will give you 10 free web sites, no commitment, no tricks.
In fact you can even try it without creating an account or anything, go to:
https://tryappservice.azure.com/
or you can get $200 for a month and 10 perpetually free web sites just by going to: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/
best thing is that there is tight integration with Visual Studio, and gives you a great way to learn the cloud.

One year ago, Microsoft announced the "helios" project (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2014/02/18/introducing-asp-net-project-helios.aspx). Since then, there has been no updates on it's nuget package and no related news. Is it safe to start using it or is it dead?
ASP.NET users have been using Katana for a long while as it empowers the latest Web API and SignalR releases from Microsoft. Helios was an addition to that map initially.
They (Katana and Helios) will, however, not be heavily updated, as ASP.NET 5 uses a different design approach. Microsoft people said this unofficially in a few places, and should provide a better explanation when ASP.NET 5 is officially released.

I have requirement to check browser detection in ASP.Net 4.0.
In this I need to check all browser including latest smart phone browsers also.
currently I am using code mention in this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/3yekbd5b
Is there any other better approach for this.
I have found MS browser detection to be clunky and has a dependency on local .browser files. With additional maintenance updating I find this method out-dated. SAAS parties such as:

Provide a more consistent and reliable system.
