Yesterday I completed exactly 2 years at MS :-)...and co-incidentally got the VS 2005 box as a souvenier which has almost everything in it including VSTS suite (the product that I worked for right from day 1 at MS and which I am seeing ship now !) - well...

Many of you must have already noted that the CI sample that we had earlier posted here was broken for the new RC build. The link has now been updated and you can download the sample from the same location for it to be built using the RC build. Again...
