A blog for DevSource.com.

This blog was originally part of the blogs.ziffdavis.com site from May 2005 through June 2007 when the blog was moved to the Movable Type blog engine and hosted at blog.devsource.com/devlife.
The original blog was eventually shut down and I was given the posts so that I could host them on my own site.

Some responses to the new Avalon and Indigo names

I have to admit that I had a bit of a bad reaction to the new names for Avalon and Indigo. It's been amusing to notice other bloggers expressing similar sentiments.

Here are a few that have caught my eye:

No more Longhorn, Avalon and Indigo (Markus Egger)

Indigo == WCF && Avalon == WPF? WTF?  (Larry O'Brien)

Avalon and Indigo Renamed and WinFX Runtime/SDK  (Sam Gentile)

(added August 5th) Chris Anderson, who has been one of the most visible people at Microsoft working on Avalon, seems to be less than thrilled with it's new name... What's in a Name
