Hi Pencho - cool article! I've actually wrote a library around Reactive Extensions to bridge them with Silverlight called ReactiveXaml (Github is at http://github.com/xpaulbettsx/ReactiveXaml) - here's how you'd make async web calls using RxXaml, it's quite a bit less boilerplate, and it also helps you wire it into an ICommand:

Ping me via paulbe@microsoft.com if you have any questions / ideas / etc!

Hi Pencho,

nice post! One small code size optimization: You don't need to copy AnonymousObservable as you can use Observable.Create or Observable.CreateWithDisposable as well as Observer.Create.
