Tim Anderson has some commentary on WPF/E. He sums up his thoughts like this:

We have Object Oriented, Component Oriented, Service Oriented, and now Language Oriented programming. Take a look at this interesting project from JetBrains called Meta Programming System which seeks to make defining their own languages to solve their own problems something that any developer can do.

I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.

Till the end of the year, all calls in the US and Canada are FREE with SkypeOut. Wow.

Channel9 has a WPF/E video up here.

Roy is reporting that 2000 people, including himself, walked out of a TechEd session he was attending because of the presenter. Wow.

Looks like Microsoft is looking at joining the OpenAJAX group. This just after Adobe, Backbase, Fair Isaac, ICEsoft, Innoopract, Intel, JackBe, Opera, SAP, Scalix, Software AG, Tibco and XML11 joined the group. This could be interesting. Combined with the other members BEA, Borland, the Dojo Foundation, Eclipse Foundation, Google, IBM, Laszlo Systems, Mozilla Corporation, Novell, Openwave Systems, Oracle, Red Hat, Yahoo!, Zend and Zimbra they could really accomplish something great.

Joe Friend says that Word 2007 will support metaweblog API and Atom API for posting direct to blogs. Not only that, but it posts with clean HTML and will let you specify image upload information (via ftp in beta 2, more options coming later). Speaking of Office 2007, go sign up for the beta if you want an early look.
