WinFS Beta 1 and Windows Vista Post-Event Resources

WinFS Beta 1 is now available through the MSDN Subscriber downloads. At the install fest last Saturday, I had a comment from one of the attendees that he felt WinFS should be a part of Vista. It appears that gentleman got his wish! You can learn a lot more about developments around WinFS by visiting the official blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/winfs/

You can also look at this WinFS demo video on Channel 9!

Speaking of the install fest, the Toronto Windows Server User Group just received a bunch of photos and resources. The first batch of photos were submitted by Kevin Lewis and are available on the main page of our site: http://www.twsug.com

The second batch of photos (hosted on Flickr) are courtesy of TechNet Evangelist Barnaby Jeans. He also did a podcast which featured a member of Nerds on Site and Valentin IIliescu talking about his chess application. You can download the MP3 and WMA at the following links:
