Keith Hill has just announced the official 1.0 release of the PowerShell Community Extensions. This is a collection of handy cmdlets and functions for Windows PowerShell, and includes my provider for the Windows RSS Platform common feed store (which gives you a "feed:" drive on Vista, or if you have...
On this week's .NET Rocks , Richard Campbell made a really interesting comment. I believe he was quoting someone else, but the transcript's not up yet so I can't quote him directly.

This release is actually identical to the RC2 release, except with a new installer and licence agreement. The guys obviously did such a good...
Paul Stovell has discovered that Windows Presentation Foundation uses its own font-smoothing algorithm rather than ClearType, and from the screenshots he has posted it's clearly (pardon the pun) inferior.
