- Big news yesterday was Microsoft announcing “Strategic Changes in Technology and Business Practices to Expand Interoperability“. More details available at the new Interoperability website and this interview with Bob Muglia.
- The videos from Lang.NET 2008 are now available, including mine.
- Mix08 is just under two weeks away, and the news is ramping up. Scott Guthrie provides a “first look” at the Silverlight 2.0 beta (aka the one with .NET) that will release @ Mix. He also provides a set of eight tutorials where he demonstrates building a Digg client for Silverlight 2.0. I’ve been doing a little Silverlight 1.0 experimentation recently, but I think I’m going to scrap it in favor of waiting for 2.0.
- Shorter Nick Malik: IoC is cool, but isn’t a silver bullet. Go read the whole thing.
- Brad Wilson has a new laptop with a solid-state hard drive. VS08 installs in under 10 minutes? I gotta get me one of those…
- In addition to the XNA news, Microsoft also announced Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden II and Too Human will all be available this year exclusively on Xbox 360. Of those, I’m most interested in Fable 2, though Too Human is looking interesting. But what about Halo Wars? When is that shipping?
