I'm beginning to think we have a new candidate for he-who-shall-not-be-named.

I think Excel 2007 does the trick. :)

-- Hey, TiVo! Suggest this!

Naw, he-who-shall-not-be-named is amusing, in a twisted kind of way. It's easy to get him to fly off the handle and have a truly atomic flamefest. The other guy is just sad.

Does it include the usual spyware and other junkware? [OT] Is WPF fully supported under Windows XP?

Yes Lotus Notes is at the level I aspire to reach someday. The attention to detail is amazing and it almost works sometimes. :)

Guess at least Yahoo! is taking Vista seriously! They must not have listened to the negative press :) Their app looks cool. I would like to have an online voice mail/video mail/text message system so that people can leave messages when I am not online.

You have to be kidding, right? :doh: I can't think of anything particularly clever to say...

So... does it work? Personally I'd be happy to go back to monochrome green-screens if I could find some software that works. Vista appears to be nothing but a makeover of the interface, and it doesn't work as well as previous versions. I really miss the days when a person had to be computer-literate to operate a computer and we really didn't care about flashy graphics, only if the thing worked :)

Yahoo IM does not. You are thinking of "anything made by AOL"

Copy and pasted from some notes I made once...

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (2.8Mb initial plus 30Mb during the install) is here (release notes).

If you have installed a pre-release .NET 3.0, there are instruction on the release notes page to help uninstall it including a link to .NET 3.0 pre-release uninstall tool.

Some general information here:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=659520&seqNum=1&rl=1

Free training: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=5578179

Note that .NET Framework 3.0 = .NET Framework 2.0 + WF + WCF + WPF + WCS (see here) - i.e does not include C# 3.0 which is 'Orcas' timeframe.

As far as Visual Studio 2005 goes, you need to install the Windows .NET Framework 3.0 SDK for Vista (is OK on XP SP2). This is a big download (1.4Gb iso file) so find an existing DVD copy! There are specific "Visual Studio 2005 extensions" for [W]WF, and WCF/WPF.
