Getting Silverlight 1.0 RC working with VS 2008 on a Vista Box
I can't promise it will work for you, but if you’re interested, here is the order of install that I did, along with links for the bits, to build a box from a base Vista image to a VS2008/Silverlight demo machine :-) My experience has been good so far.

A little fun with threading and VB.NET
I put together a little demo that shows how to do simple multithreaded code in VB.NET. Rather than bury a simple demo with synchronization to the nines, I'll tell you to just accept this as an learning sample of how to use the thread pool and how to kick
