Happy Halloween everyone!  Today,  I thought I'd add my voice to the excitement surrounding the Visual Studio 2005 / .NET Framework v2 / .NET Compact Framework v2 release. 

On the subject of version 2 of the .NET Compact Framework, I have to say that this is the finest release ever.  This release provides improved performance, an expanded feature set (ex: Direct3D Mobile, MSMQ, etc) and compatibility with version 1 applications.

There are a number of ways to get the new release:
End-User Redistributable (English): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en

Enjoy!
