MS Innovation
Well, looks like the media engine is just starting to warm up. Lots of very, very cool stuff coming out of Microsoft in the next couple years. With all this cool stuff coming to a desktop near you, I am sure of one thing. Some of us will be very happy that we are on the winning side :-).

Interesting... and they say MS is bad?
"You see, JBoss isn't a "Qualified Not-for-Profit" organization. Sun's "Java Specification Participation Agreement" says they've got to "qualify" if they wish to license the TCK free of charge. They can't qualify while Fleury is in the driver's seat and his company controls the fate of the JBoss project.

Me Too!
"How utterly polite. When I Visited Mark Pilgram's blog today, It let me know that my browser may be infected with a parasitic virus, and led me to instructions on cleaning my system. Now, if only the anti-virus program that I have were as smart as Mark's blog... or, maybe if the browser that I run were as smart as Mark's blog...

ServicedComponents vs EJBs
TC brings up a good point...

Serviced Component Woes (Part II)
"Like any COM object, Transaction Server objects can maintain internal state across multiple interactions with a client. An object that has this behavior is stateful. Transaction Server objects can also be stateless, which means the object doesn't hold an intermediate state while waiting for the next call from a client.

Someone Needs to be Shot
So, I am working with some ServicedComponents so that I can use COM+ transactions. For some reason, every time my method returns, all my fields are null. It doesn't make sense to me, so I step through the program to see what is going on. The set methods are called sure enough and the properties are indeed being set properly. So, I do a google search and find in a newsgroup posting from MS developer support that this is the "Expected behavior" for any ServicedComponent which has a method marked as AutoComplete. As soon as the method returns, the object will be destroyed. So, if you have any fields, they will be reset. Now, I have two questions: who is the moron on the .NET team that thought that was a good idea? Has he been fired yet?
