It's always good to see a company use their own product, and when it comes to TFS Microsoft has really excelled. Brian Harry details the current stats, including 300,000 work items across 148 million files.

For those not on Facebook, this will be meaningless, but for those who are, then you’ll have noticed that the mandatory ‘is’ from the status updates was removed* earlier this week. Yay!

My only comment: Find me a company that manages to stop Project Managers disrupting the flow (his last bullet point in the second list), and you've found yourself a rare (and wonderful) environment. I suspect real world occurrences of this are scarce. Technorati Tags: Agile...

Looks like Microsoft is getting stuff out the door on time these days. The latest to be announced (well, rumoured) is Office 2007 SP1. The word on the street is that the SP1 will include a new feature to get rid of the ribbon interface (joke).

A nice summary from Scott Guthrie about where ASP.NET, Silverlight and IIS7 are heading. I'm continually stunned at how productive Scott's team are – they seem to be pumping out new (and useful) stuff all the time.
