I was getting so bored with .NET in general and even WCF/WF lately. Its really been a long time for me with something new. Vista is so one year ago, WCF too, etc. Last...

September CTP, Orcas Tools, I'm So Confused!

As I said in my Vista post, "As you know from all my posts about our project we are not exactly using old technology but everything bleeding that pushes the edge (.NET 3, WCF, etc)." That and having over 20 years of alpha and beta program experience at Microsoft (Building 20 is my 2nd home...
