Plenty of blogs about this little baby, but Scott's has some nice piccys. I want one, but I don't really think I'd use it… or is this one of those situations where we look back and wonder how we ever did with out it before…(a la the mobile phone)?

MVC Contrib
Another CodePlex project, this time a set of assemblies to add functionality to Microsoft's recently released MVC functionality in the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview. Go get it at .

TFS dog fooding and memory issue admissions

Microsoft’s Infrastructure Optimisation Assessment Tool
Ready for a chuckle? Try this new, comprehensive assessment tool for analysing your infrastructure. The gruelling, incisive, no-stone-unturned assessment (all 9 multiple choice questions of it) gives a totally bogus indication of your company's infrastructure state. Looks like someone on work experience came up with the 9 questions, but a whole team from marketing then present the in depth...
