• Software Development for Windows Vista Deployment, Load balancing, Instancing

  I've been reading the "Presenting WWF" book, and can't seem to get my head around the instancing and persistence model for a scalable, enterprise system.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Feb 2006 CTP what happened to presentation framework.dll?

  Hi, I was just trying to get the Feb 2006 CTP to work on my Win XP SP2 PC. I did a clean uninstall of all previous CTP versions. Also ran the cleanup msi tool given on the CTP download page.
