  • Early Adopter on SxS Deployment

    "If the push was for SxS, then you would be free to make a lot more breaking changes to the Framework, as it wouldn't actually break apps.

    "20meg is a small price to pay for apps that 'just work'."

  • WM 2003

    "Our team has been spend some cycles the last few months on a new refresh of Web Matrix.  We've unfortunately been heads-down on ASP.NET V1.1 and ASP.NET V2 for the last several months -- which is why the refresh has taken longer than we origionally hoped for..."
