New email address

For anyone that needs to contact me I have a new email address for all Microsoft related things at uni.

Orcus

The "generation" of Microsoft development products that will be released is visual studio code name "Orcas", aka VS9, aka VS2007. We are planning for a campus launch some time semester 2. However there is a public beta out that is pretty stable. The beta works off .Net 3.5 and also extends C# with things like LINQ.

If you are interested in downloading it go to link alternatively i may be able to get my hands on some burnt copies of the software.

Office 2007 survay

I just got a request from the MS people for those of you who bought a copy of office 2007 at the student price to complete this survey. They are offering anyone who completes it an entry into a draw to win an X-box 360.
