Vista - What's in a name?

posted Friday, July 22, 2005 11:17 AM by gux

I love the spanish word choosen (made famous by Terminator's line "Hasta la vista, baby"?) which means sigth, vision, eyesight, view, look... In other news, Beta 1 of Windows Vista will be arriving August 3rd. 2005.

Just go http://www.microsoft.com/longhorn to have a vista :-)

posted Saturday, July 02, 2005 1:46 PM by gux

The Enterprise Library June 2005 release superseeds the January 2005 release + Patch 1475. For new developments you can download EntLib Jun2005 or you can apply Patch 1475 to Jan2005 EntLib to avoid a memory leak issue.
