WinFX Runtime Beta 1 Released
If you haven't heard about this already you are someone who probably won't care, but here it goes anyways: Beta 1 version of the WinFX Runtime is out! That's right, this is the "RTM" Beta 1 of Indigo and Avalon. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=CE888B4C-CCBD-452F-9D90-F4B7190CCA24&displaylang=en and run it on top of Whidbey Beta 2.
While we're on the subject of Indigo and Avalon - we now have official names for both technologies: Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Presentation Foundation, respectively. This announcement comes at about the same time Longhorn gets an official name, as well: Windows Vista.
You can find out more about Vista, WCF, and WPF at http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/.
