&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;This blog talks about my area of work at Microsoft within the Enterprise Partner Group (EPG) at Microsoft. Here you will find blog entries about software factories, Application Lifecycle Management, User Experience, and just general enterprise distributed development on .NET. I created this blog so partners and the general public can receive periodic tidbits on new (public) developments. &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;Why this blog is called &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Albertus MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"&gt;Viking&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;? Partly because I’m largely Norwegian and partly because this blog is all about discovery of new software development trends and (more to the point) conquering the traditional software development problems we all face today. I hope you enjoy. It is my first blog - so be gentle and patient in your expectations. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"&gt;Enjoy!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
