A few days ago Jason Zander blogged about the availability of Visual Studio SP1 Beta (all links below in resources section). I am happy to let you guys know that with SP1 Beta we have enabled integration of IIS Express into Visual Studio. After you have installed SP1 Beta you have to download IIS Express separately for the option to “light up”. After you’ve downloaded and installed IIS Express you can now create Web projects and Websites which use IIS Express instead of Cassini (the default web server used in Visual Studio). For more information regarding the difference between IIS Express and IIS/Cassini please see Scott’s blog linked below. Visual Studio 2010 has two types of web projects; Web Application Project (WAP) and Website projects...
Dear readers, if you haven’t checked out the SEO Toolkit yet, you owe it to yourself to go there now, download it and start using it. Point it to your sites and it will explore them and give you a full report of all the little problems that are getting in the way of search engines. I’m 99.99% sure you’ll discover problems in your site. Lots of them. You’ll be surprised. But it doesn’t stop there. In may cases, it will show you how to fix the problems you find. It’s pure, distilled awesomeness. It is a priceless debugging tool that works at the site level. And the best thing is, it works on any web site, you don’t have to be running Windows Server, IIS or ASP.NET. LAMP users everywhere rejoice! http://www.microsoft.com/web/spotlight/seo/ Read...

Don’t read anything into this, I’d just like to see some different opinions on medium trust. Read More...

You can use it as a direct conduit to us and the team with feedback (both good and bad!). We’ll cover our entire UX platform including Expression Studio with a focus on Expression Blend (and the newly announced SkethFlow functionality which has had rave reviews), Silverlight, Visual Studio, and anything else we think is important.
