Safari on Windows...to me, this is just an increased test matrix.

Microsoft eScrum Version 1.0 - Web-based tool for Scrum built on top of TFS.
Microsoft Office Outlook Connector - New version of the software to hook up Outlook (2003 or 2007) to Hotmail.
SpreadsheetGear for .NET 2007 - Now available, the new version of this software for creating Excel-compatible spreadsheets without Excel.
Advanced Installer 5.0 - Another version bump for one of the ways to produce your own MSI installers.
SQLNitro - Software to speed up SQL Server network operations by tweaking the low-level TDS protocol. Sounds scary to me.
Introducing Subkismet-The Cure For Comment Spam - Open source anti-spam code spawned by Subtext.

Product Keys Based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - If you really want to dig into building your own product key validation system, this will get you started.

Speaking as a Performing Art - Good advice passed on by Guy Kawasaki.
