Community
Thanks to Scott for the update on .Text. One think I am not sure about, and maybe I am wrong on this.
The fact to split Microsoft bloggers and non microsoft bloggers will create a wall between us.
Why ? Because a lot of people now use a blog reader tool and will subscribe to one or other not both.
My two cents of suggestion.: -

It's like nothing has to happen next year, the world will end or the global warming will finally have its payload.
Every year it's the same, deadlines are suddenly shortened, and whatever you say it has to be done before the 24th ;-) -

I am still not convinced, and I am not the only one, by the answers I received on this post.
Does somebody from Microsoft Asp.Net team has a better and clever idea on the origin of this issue ?

Popup Blocker
Everybody knows now more on the next Windows XP Service Pack 2 including a new version of Internet Explorer.
The main new feature is the popup blocker. But do you know that this function will be disable by default, and turn on only at the first popup.
Silly no ? I know a lot of users who will click on the No button, and again having their popups coming all the time.
IMO It will make sense to do the opposite, no ?
