13.12.2007.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.

21.01.2008Zend Framework 1.0 Ready To Compete
At long last PHP's challenge
to the .NET and JavaEE
frameworks officially debuts.
Since its inception 11 years
ago, PHP has been a language
for the Web. Now with the
release of the Zend Framework
1.0 today, PHP becomes a
language for Web applications
and Web services enterprise
applications.
Zend
Framework 1.0 is an open
source framework for PHP that
brings it in closer
competition with JavaEE and
.NET than ever before.
The effort began back in
October of 2005 with the first
public development release
appearing in March of 2006.
Zend co-founder Andi Gutmans
claims that they have had over
1 million downloads since the
first Zend Framework
development build was
released, have received
contributions from over 230
developers and had the support
of both IBM and Google. Zend
is one of the lead commercial
sponsors of PHP development. ..

02.07.2007xUnit.net 1.0 Released
James Newkirk: In the 5 years since the release of NUnit 2.0, there have been millions of lines of code written using the various unit testing
frameworks for .NET. About a year ago it became clear to myself and Brad Wilson that there were some very clear patterns of success (and failure) with
the tools we were using for writing tests. Rather than repeating guidance about "do X" or "don't do Y", it seemed like it was the right time to
reconsider the framework itself and see if we could codify some of those rules.
Additionally, the .NET framework itself has
evolved a lot since its v1 release in early 2002. Being able to leverage some of the new framework features can help us write clearer tests.
<
...> While
any one of these reasons would not necessarily have been sufficient to create a new testing framework, the combination of them all made us want to
undertake a new project: xUnit.net.
