Another week has shot by. Didn't have any time to look at Silverlight although I have managed to download the Orcas Beta and get everything set-up so I'm good to go (whenever I find a spare moment).

Links that have caught my interest this week are:

Blaine announces the May 2007 release of SCSF and on a comment on a related blog post Ohad announces that he is currently updating his SCSFWPF project (Allows you to create an application that is 100% WPF) so that it supports the May 2007 release.
