A quiet day in the .NET community, apart from one major release.

ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 - Yup, it's released. Scott Guthrie has more to say.
ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Futures January CTP - And here are bits that didn't make it into the release.
Feeds Plus - Add an aggregate view and popup notifications to the IE7 RSS experience.
Microsoft� Visual Studio� 2005 Express Editions Service Pack 1 - If the goal of the Express Editions is to be an easy introduction to development, why in the world isn't this slipstreamed?

Microsoft Ought To Make A Bootable DOS Thumbdrive Image Available - A fine idea from Larry O'Brien. Too bad it'll never happen.
