MyXaml

- The Unofficial Microsoft Weblog
- Now we know a little more about “Microsoft Venus” (i.e. ASP.NET 2.0).
- Matisse 6: The Ultimate .NET Database (PDF). There's even a new .Text DbProvider available for Matisse database. I wonder if any web hosts support Matisse as yet or is it only good for self-run self-managed servers for now.

- “For some reason, Microsoft's brilliant and cutting-edge .NET development environment left out one crucial tool...” says Joel Spolsky. For now, maybe the Salamander .NET Linker and Mini-Deployment Tool can heal some pain or we wait for Longhorn to arrive which should have the .NET framework pre-installed.

Signal-to-Noise #2
The Republic Day (Mon, 26th Jan) is near while the odd rains in and around New Delhi will hopefully not confine people indoors during this long weekend. To me, the most amazing sight in the city this time of the year is the evening view of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidents House) which is all lit up and looks magnificent (see photo). -
WinFX 247
I didn't knew up until today that Matthew Reynolds (dotnet247.com) has already launched WinFX247 (beta). The new site holds WinFX (that will be .NET's big brother when Longhorn comes out) namespace reference, newsgroup discussions and .NET 1.2 Structure. Cool stuff!

Longhorn Review @ CNET
John Morris from CNET recently reviewed Microsoft Windows Longhorn. Its more of a non-developers point-of-view but a good read. John also mentions that the retail market cost of Longhorn will be the same as that of XP (according to Bill Gates). I feel that the cost & the delivery time are two sensitive issues which are by far speculative. What's intriguing is that, of the 300+ people who voted on the site only 50% recommended Longhorn (as of now - ie: Alpha build). Some have even posted their comments (positive or negative). But again, the actual product is atleast 3-4 years away.
