Today we are releasing the "final" TFS 2008 based release of the Web Access Power Tool .  I put "final" in quotes because the release model for Power Tools is a little different than for our major product versions.  Rather...

In my last post, I referred to "a couple" of VS2008 initiatives that we are breathing new life into. In that post I talked about our specification sharing process for Rosario. The second one we've been reinvigorating is our publicly available downloads...

During the VS 2008 product cycle, we started several new initiatives to increase transparency.  Some of them continued strong and some of them sputtered.  We are breathing new life into a couple of them.  The first to be reinvigorated it...
