We’re sorry, but you won’t be able to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 Beta at this time

Windows Azure Training Kit
Microsoft has just released a new Training Kit for Windows Azure that updates the one released at the PDC. Not since Windows Communication Foundation and WPF have I been so exited about a new technology, but Windows Azure is it.
Head First Design Patterns
Over the last month I have been reading Head First Design Patterns . This an excellent book and I only wish that all tech books used some of the principals of learning that are contained in it.

Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1 (RC1)
Yesterday Microsoft released the latest version of it new IE8 browser. As an avid user of both Beta 1 and Beta 2 I am looking forward to seeing the result.

Feedburner, no Google…
