Thanks Colin. As you can see we haven't had much chance to do much with the group this week. Probably wasn't wise to pick our busiest week of the year so far...
Hi all! I thought I'd kick off a discussion about Silverlight, an emerging technology that I have a particular interest in but as yet, unfortunately, have had...
I found the responses to the article interesting. There are certainly a lot of virulent anti-Microsoft types around, one poster comparing them to the Nazis,...
