My colleague Ankur pointed out an interesting set of pictures at the Microsoft and nVidia web sites. To understand why I found these funny, you need to have seen a film called ���This is SpinalTap���, a rockumentory about a hard rock band called ���Spinal Tap���. In one of the famous scenes in this film (Watch this Scene in YouTube), one of the...

I did post about the new Technical Refresh that I installed last week. I only got time over the weekend to check out if there are any additional features. The main new feature is that, now you can create a Blog post out of the File->New menu. Some of the dialog boxes like the "Password Prompt" dialog has been cleaned up a little bit and has...

Looks like both Adobe and Symantec has complained to EU about the new features in Vista that will be competing with their existing products. I am really quite amused. I at least understand Symantec's case; they are offering a security service (I would consider AV also as a service as you need updates and you buy a subscription), while MS is...

My friend and co-MVP Sanjay Vyas actually pointed out this trick when we were chatting today morning. I am not sure where he got it from, but it is kind of cool. The idea is to go to any site (say www.microsoft.com) in IE (have not tried it with FF or Opera though), and then type the following script in the address bar: ��javascript:R=0; x1=.1;...

Well most of the changes seem to be visual. The splash screens have changed and so have the application icons. Some of the icons in the Ribbons seem to have changed. I am not sure what else have changed, but I can see some extra options now being available from the blog posting mode. I will post more as I start working with the newer build...

So the exciting news is out. Atlas will go live by end of this year with a core set of libraries and then get features added on to it as it matures. So you will not need to wait till Orcas ships to really go to production with Atlas. And of course, then Atlas as a name ceases to exist and you will be talking either of Microsoft Ajax Toolkit or...
