.NET 3.0, Office 2007 and Vista Resources, Part 1/5

About: Today we launched Vista and Office 2007 in Toronto, the launch event was attended by over 4000 people, it is also the first time we have had an architect session at any launch, the session was attended by over 600 architects and aspiring architects. One of the things I promised in my architect session was a list of resources on .NET 3.0, Office 2007 and Vista. This is the first in the series of post that compiles the various resources for Vista, .NET 3.0 and Office 2007. These blog posts have been written by Sultan Akif, who is the Financial Services Industry Architect at Microsoft Canada (yes we do share the same set of parents!)
