So after two days of downloading at broadband speeds, I finally got all the pieces of the Orcas Mrach CTP downloaded. Doublce-clicking on Part1.exe expanded the other 8 RAR files. Once that was done, I used Virtual PC 2007 on top of my Vista Ultimate desktop OS. I left the setting at 1 GB of RAM. I then attached to the VPC image and there I was staring at a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise login. The VPC image seems to be put together well. In addition to Orcas (Visual Studio 9), both SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 are present. A nice bonus is that TFS is fully installed saving a lot of work. So far, I have just created a Team Project in VSTS/TFS and the speeds are ok. I am going to be digging in during parts of the weekend, so I'll have more as I go along.

I am really excited about this drop! Too many great things to mention. I'll have to check if I can say anything about the pieces I have been involved with. Get the installable bits here and the VPC image here .

I have already said my piece on the Vista launch but also Office 2007 launches today which really rocks. The much better Outlook 2007 is worth the price of admission alone IMHO. Vista and Office Launches Vista Launch Page Bill Gates Keynote European Launch Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor Office 2007 Launch Page Nial Kennedy on launch in San Francisco Microsoft Debuts Vista in Global Marketing Blitz Robert McLaws posts on all those great Vista Updates that finally showed up last night on my Update. Can someone get me to stop playing Hold 'Em Ultimate Extra, my fingers hurt -) Software Architecture/SOA Pablo asks "CRUD Service for Service - Is a Bad Practice?" I think it depends, and as Robert Wilczynski says in the comments, some kinds of CRUD are fine, but the greater anti-pattern is chatty contract/interface. What's your thoughts? Pablo also talks about Services in .NET Part 1 Edward has started a new series of posts about factory basics called 'Factories 201', and he has kicked that off with a post entitled "What are they (concretely)?" [via Jezz Santos ] Arnon continues his excellent architectural writings on his Architect Blog with What Is SOA Anyway?: Part I, Ambiguity and Anyway? Part II, Hype Soma talks about Software Factories [via Harry ] WCF/Web Services/Workflow William Tay makes the very real case for why WS-ReliableMesaging is vital. I mean, when people *** about WS-*, I don't get how its not obvious that "the main characteristics of Web services is communication over unreliable communication channels such as the Internet employing unreliable data transfer protocols such as HTTP, SMTP and FTP" and many of us need things like WS-RM and other standards to build real service-oriented systems that actually do something. Luckily for me, Indigo bakes all this goodness in so it's just an attribute to me The master, David Chappell, tells us What's Really Important About SCA ( Service Component Architecture )? YAY!

Happy Father's Day to all other Fathers! My son made me breakfast and in a letter said "I was smarter than Einstein" and "are you sure you didn't invent E = mc2 and Albert E. copied you?" -)) Data/ORM/ADO.NET 3 Ayende has been reading the docs for the ADO.Net Entities Framework and Next-Generation Data Access - June 2006 : and comes back far from impressed. Some choice comments: The problem is that I don't like this solution. The framework should be flexible enough that I could plug in at all the important points and replace the functionality with my custom one. Using two ways to acess the data has a big "Don't Do Unless You Know What You Are Doing And Have Fasted For Three Days" sign over it with red blinking lights. Oh joy! Three ORM frameworks. Linq to SQL, Linq to Dataset, Linq to Entities. This is a new record. They managed to piss me off on the very first page. The code example that they give as the desired state doesn't even make sense. Sigh. It looks like this is much about providing a mapping layer between the database and the logical model, and getting un-typed results back. I'm not excited about this at all. This is where they are putting quite a bit of emphasis. Given that they create a new language to work with the data, why not make it compatible with the way Linq work and use from-select-where ? WCF/SOA/WSE/WinFX Clemens has recorded a new episode of MSDN TV on WCF bindings Clemens weighs in on the whole WinFX vs. .NET Framework 3.0 naming mess The Indigo group has finally released the source code for the infamous Magic8Ball service C# Variance and Generalized Constraints for C# Generics .

On May 19, 2003 , I said " I have always admired Mike's ability to look at the world out there and put it all into one great post, The Daily Grind . While I can't pretend to have Mike's writing ability, I would like to start moving to something similar instead of multiple separate posts ." I still believe that today but I have not been so great about "daily" or I would have been over 500, but here I am over 3 years later with number 100! While I am still in Mike emulation mode, I would like to do something like he did for the "Tell a Friend" and contest. I don't want to blatantly copy his contest (maybe I do!) but I want to double the readership of this blogs. If you get anything out of these posts and the blog, I'd love if you told someone else to subscribe. In the meantime , I'd love to hear from you on this blog on what you think might increase readership as well as your experience. So we have today: My co-worker and pair programmer today Steve questions Microsoft’s strategy on releasing two OR/M solutions. Andres (and Frans on the comments) also question this. I agree that this is just going to confuse the developer totally when they need to use the technology. Ayende agrees that this is madness. I’d rather see a single OR/M solution based on LINQ that is extensible . Again, Andres , “ I went to TechEd Keynote today and I almost got asleep. Then Chloe appeared and it was the only excuse I had to not to leave before it finished” Have you checked out http://www.seewindowsvista.com/ ? It is a very cool way to see some amazing things that developers are doing with Vista and .NET Framework 3.0.
