Busy week at Microsoft

Well, it seems that Microsoft managed to deliver on their promises and get the new wave of products released early in the month:

Office 2007 was announced as released by Eric Rudder (Senior VP in Technology Strategy at Microsoft) during his opening keynote in the 2006 TechEd Developers in Barcelona yesterday. He said that it would be hitting the MSDN Subscribers download area shortly.

 Today the .NET Framework 3.0 has been publicly announced both here in Barcelona and on www.netfx3.com and is available for immediate download.

 Finally, yesterday Microsoft announced that they will be releasing Windows Vista to manufacturers today (November the 8th) at 11:00 AM PST, and it should be hitting the MSDN Subscribers download very shortly if not immediately.

 Microsoft has also posted the first public CTP of Visual Studio "Orcas", the next release of Visual Studio, in a Virtual PC image available for MSDN Subscribers. They have been demoing the new Orcas tools quite heavily here in the TechEd and it is nice that we actually get to play with all that stuff.

I logged onto MSDN last night to see if I could download a copy of Vista, especially as Paulo reported
