Visual Studio Orcas March CTP is out now

Work has been really hard on me the last couple of weeks, but I just found some time today to read down my rss feeds and found out that Visual Studio Orcas has been refreshed with a March CTP just as I wrote this.

It's been released both as a VirtualPC image and as a selfextracted file, I recomend to go witht he VPC one since in that way u won't have to mess your current system.

Be aware that this release is quite big, near the 6GB of size so be patient.

Any way, I have to go back to my emails, I leave you here with the links to the download and to a post that Scott Guthier wrote introducing some of the new stuff shipping with Orcas CTP.

My live.com page ain't working on Firefox 2.0

Update: I cleaned up history, cookies and cache; and the problem went away. It is funny that this happen after I installed .NET 3.0 and didn't restart the computer. I don't think it has something to do other than a corruption on cookies. But who knows.

Yes, I am still missing some good posts, but something odd happened today, I am running version 2.0.0.1 of Firefox and somehow the Live.com personalized page stopped working. It just don't show more than the search text box and the oval flying windows of Live Services (please look at the screenshot).


If any of you know how to get it working again or if you are from the Live team, and knows this is happening it will be a good thing to look @ I will provide any info if needed about my system.

Happy weekend!
