CAB Released...almost..any...second...now
The release day is the final battle with entropy. It's when the work of months seems to be put at risk and "die the death of a thousand paper cuts"...Xenon's paradox kicks in and every little task breaks up into some smaller tasks and it suddenly feels there is more work to do today than the rest of the year.. and there's always STUFF that happens... the version number changes...the MSI signature appliation does not work to someone's machine...links need to be reset to avoid 404s..someone needs surgery... no matter how much planning happens, the release day is a frantic, reactive, and a fun day no matter how much planning goes into it. My approach is to take it with a zen attitude of Expect the Unexpected, and go with the flow
To the CAB team: I consider it a privilege to have been part of this team.Thanks
To the rest of the world - get it via the MSDN page here once it goes live. The download link is already active, detective points go to those who find it on their own.
