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.

RTM-City: Microsoft is starting to roll their new products out!

While I was on an airplane yesterday, lots happened in the Microsoft press! Luckily, I'm at DevConnections and we got all of the announcements over a few of the keynotes. After Scott Guthrie's keynote this morning, I now have this list of what is now released and what is coming...

RTM=Release to Manufacture

update: now we can say it: Vista too! Today 11/8.

  • .NET 3.0 (Remember, this is the 4 new APIs bundled with .NET 2.0 - read more here and here.)
  • Office 2007: RTM! Here's the press release.
  • Sharepoint: Along with Office, it too is gold and will be available very soon. More details on all of the sharepoint releases from Andrew Connell and here's a press release.
  • AJAX Beta 2 released yesterday.

Coming very soon:

  • Expression Web Designer - before 2006 YE. (Parts of Expression  WYSISYG designer will be integrated into Orcas)
  • AJAX v 1.0 by the end of this year (their goal).

Also, fun to note is that VS2005 was RTM'd one year ago today.
