IntelliJ and VisualGC
So this weekend I managed to find a hour or so to have a quick play with IntelliJ and Sun's heap visualization tool, VisualGC . IntelliJ isn't bad, but I really don't like the default File Template that they provide for a Singleton class; the code is...

Indigo, HiveMind etc
Lots of speculation this week around if Indigo will be released before Longhorn. Don Box hinted about this at the PDC if I remember correctly. I hope it does get release prior to Longhorn, at least then we can move away from the legacy unmanaged COM+...
