Is Windows moving toward an open source model? Hmmm. Look at this ComputerWeekly article. "Enterprise users will now be able to access Microsoft source code as a result of last week's changes to the Software Assurance subscription licensing programme."

The analysts seem to be coming down against Linux. Here's a report from Giga. And Dan Shafer decries Gartner's decision. Of course, Gartner was telling us two weeks ago to not use Hotmail/Passport. I guess you gotta take your lumps and your sugar with these guys.

http://weblogs.asp.net is my favorite site to check during the day. I'm so glad to see that my company is providing hosting for this site for free -- and with seemingly few, if any, strings attached. Here's a FAQ on the new home for this site.

Paul Wilson critiques a session at TechED. I think good critiques are healthy. I want to see more of them. Just don't make it personal, if possible, and try to give constructive criticism. We're all human. Yes, even us who work for the borg.

eWeek: "At Microsoft's Professional Developer Conference this October in Los Angeles, Microsoft will talk a lot more about Longhorn, a major upgrade of the Windows platform due in 2005, and more on Orcas—the version of Visual Studio .Net to coincide with the Longhorn release."

I'm watching the TechED Conference Weblogs like a hawk. Learning a lot. These rock.

David Weller has the best Microsoft weblog disclaimer I've seen so far.

I disappear for one night and people start emailing me "have the execs taken away your right to post?"

Well, no. See, my wife wants to buy a house. So, she's taken me house hunting the past two evenings. Hence, I get no blogging time. Hence, no weblogs.

Of course, maybe my wife is in cahoots with the execs, you never know.
