New Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map is now available

The Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map is a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that helps developers visualize the different programs, servers, services, and tools that will help them build solutions. It allows them to drill down to each product and technology and learn about new features, objects, Web services, namespaces, and schemas required to extend Microsoft Office and build custom Office Business Applications (OBAs).

The map is a living document that provides links to MSDN Library reference documentation, MSDN portal pages, and RSS feeds that describe how developers can use the 2007 Microsoft Office system and associated tools and technologies to develop solutions that meet their needs.

The map stores resource links in an XML file hosted on MSDN. Once you install it, the map pulls the latest version of the resource file. No need to reinstall!

The map's default view:

If you have any ideas or suggestions for improving the usability or usefulness of the map, please leave a comment.

I am interested.

But I'm not able to download in my company,

cause ClickOnce does not asks for the Proxy authentication data.

Would be fine if they offer also a complete download ..

Is it too hard to use CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials for connecting to the proxy server?

Same problem here, I just fail to start the application.

Looks very nice :)

The only thing is, when I drill down to a couple of subjects the memory use is about 100 MB, which I think is a lot.

We are working on Quatum Insight for MS Outlook, which is an OBA accelerator.

We are in TechEd 2007.

It doesn't work. I'm using XP, Firefox 2 or IE7 with .NET 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 installed. Running the .application file comes up with an unfriendly error log every time, and I'm not behind a proxy.
