Windows 7 rocks!
I bought my current PC almost three years ago. I've had my own PC for 15 years or so, and, aside from my first desktop and a laptop I only use when traveling, that was the only time I've bought a whole PC, rather than buying parts and assembling my own (a Frankenputer as former coworkers affectionately referred to them). Like many of my colleagues who work in Microsoft technologies, I looked into buying a Dell, and they had a fine deal, and more importantly, they had finally started selling AMD processors, which I can proudly say without qualification is the only CPU in any computer I've owned. I configured one with a dual core, 64-bit processor, and all sorts of new technologies I'd never heard of but were (and appear to still be) the latest and the greatest. ("What's SATA? We use PCI for video again?" I asked myself.)

ASPInsiders Summit 2006 - IIS 7
Earlier this month was the ASPInsiders Summit at Microsoft. As finishing the QA cycle for, deploying, and supporting a project at work has kept me busy, followed immediately by the holidays, I haven't had much chance to blog about it until now. This is partly a good thing, since it means others more punctual than me have blogged about it first and saved me some trouble. Thanks, Steve!
As usual, they talked a bit about stuff that's recently been released, such as Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals and the now-released action-packed VS 2005 SP1, where Web Application Projects becomes a first-class citizen in the Visual Studio world as they should have been since day one.
