Hot on the tails of a bunch of other great releases coming out of Redmond in these past couple of weeks, PowerShell v1.0 has been released!

I’ve been running on Vista for a while now. Unfortunately VS 2005 wasn’t designed with a “least user priveledge” approach in mind and so it has some unsupported scenarios when running on Vista when UAC is turned on. Most stuff “just works”, but there are a few things that require you to kick it into elevated permissions mode. […]

They’re calling them Widget now, but essentially this is almost what the HTML Components specification from 1998 was trying to do. I do like the fact that includes a packaging mechanism (ZIP) so that you can distribute all your resources in on file. Criticism follows: There should be a way to expose an interface for […]

So, if you haven’t already heard, Windows Vista RTMd today and will be available for retail on 01/30/07 (just one day before my 30th birthday heheh). Congrats to all the developers, I’m sure it’s been a hell of a journey. It must feel great to finally set it free. Now… let’s see… off the top of […]

I am a big fan of the refactoring that has happened throughout the “Core” library. A great example is the creation […]

Just throwin’ this post up because I was suprised by a compiler error I just received and noticed that there were only two search results for it when I looked for an explanation. Basically the problem is exactly what the title of this post says: you can’t access ref/out parameters from within an anoymous delegate. […]

As of last Friday, something nasty seems to have happened to my Vista 5600 install. Basically the problem started when I came in in the morning. Instead of logging into my session that I had locked out the night before, it was at the initial logon screen. I figured it musta just taken a dump and […]

One of Robert’s first show’s is a visit to Printing for Less. First off, kudos to Robert for such a great show. I love the loose format and Robert asks great questions both from the perspective of a geek as well as the average end user.  Next, it’s really cool to see this industry finally get […]
