18.10.2005Microsoft Rechristens WinFX as
.Net Framework 3
In the name of dispelling
confusion, Microsoft has
decided to rechristen WinFX as
.Net Framework 3.0. We're
still not 100% sure this
rebranding will achieve
Microsoft's goal, given that
the branding (and rebranding)
around .Net has been pretty
darn confounding.
It's official:
Windows Communications
Framework (Indigo) + Windows
Presentation Framework
(Avalon) + Windows Workflow
Foundation (WinOE) + InfoCard
(now known as Windows
Cardspace) = .Net Framework
3.0. If you want a shorthand
way of describing .Net
Framework 3.0, it's the new
Windows programming model that
commences with Windows
Vista.

09.05.2008Windows 7 Sensors Framework interview from PDC
Bryant: During my time at PDC, I managed to speak with many people knowledgeable about various aspects of Windows 7. One of these people was Dan
Polivy, a lead on the team behind the new Windows 7 sensors framework which was mentioned a number of times during the old days when Windows 7
speculation was rampant. Dan and I carried an informative interview regarding a number of functions of the Windows 7 sensors framework, including
topics such as how easy it might be for a user to receive sensor data from sensors which are plugged into the framework as well as what one could do
with various forms of sensor data, such as locational input from WiFi triangulation and GPS signals.
If youre a developer,
watching this video would be a wise decision; were doing something special for those who watch, so stay tuned.

05.11.2008.NET Framework 3.0 SP1 & 2.0 SP1 on Vista RTM?
Aaron Ruckman: I've received the following type of question a few times and would like to give the answer with some background:
Q. Where is the .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 & 2.0 SP1 for Vista RTM?
A. .NET Framework 3.0 & 2.0 released with Vista as OS Windows
Components, which means that they are serviced as any other windows Component. Therefore, the .NET Framework 3.0 & 2.0 Service packages will be
officially released as part of the Vista Service packages. When Vista SPX is shipped then .NET Framework 2.0 & 3.0 might also include updates in that
service package.
In this case the .NET Framework 3.0 & 2.0 have a service package that will be shipped with Vista
SP1. Vista SP1 RC is available now (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb738089.aspx)
NOTE: The same logic stated for Vista and .NET Framework will also be true for Windows2008 & .NET Framework 2.0 & 3.0, only Windows
Server2008 will release with .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 & 3.0 SP1 in the OS.

small change was made to the Framework after that, and this new version, 2.0.50727.1434, was then delivered to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista

Since the source and symbols have to exactly match what's running on a developer's machine, this meant that customers
