Software

IL Graphs in Reflector - Decompile .NET code into flow charts. (via Roy Osherove)
Office Business Scorecards Accelerator - Executive Information System with browser delivery and Microsoft OLAP plumbing on the backend.
Office Excel Add-In for SQL Server Analysis Services - A way to hook up Analysis Services cubes to Excel spreadsheets and do menu-based reporting.

SQL Server Developer Center - Information on both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. (via Early Adopter)
Microsoft's Sacred Cash Cow - Ex-Microsoftie (who mostly worked on failed projects) explains what Microsoft is doing wrong and offers his prescription for fixing the company. Bear in mind that this was published in Seattle Weekly, which exists to stir shit.

What are the goals of refactorings? - Cyrus points out a situation in which refactoring in C# might break code, and asks for opinions. I suspect this is one of those cases where everyone will know what the obviously correct answer is - and then be astounded to discover that not everyone agrees with them.
Visual Studio Team System - Team Bloggers - A list by Christopher Bowen. There are so many of them that one wonders whether there's a concerted internal push to publicize this product by blogging about it.
