Microsoft Launches New Open Source CodePlex Foundation

Posted: 10 Sep 2009 12:54 PM PDT

Microsoft's strategy with open source has evolved over the past several years as we strive to make Windows the platform of choice for customers.  My team has participated in that process first hand, we've worked hard with the PHP community to ensure PHP runs great on Windows , integrated PHP installation into the Microsoft Web Platform Installer , and engaged some of the most popular PHP applications like WordPress , Drupal , and SugarCRM to ensure customers have a great experience running these applications on Windows and IIS.  We've also worked closely with the jQuery project to make it a natural part of building applications with ASP.NET.  Today I am happy to be a part of the announcement that Microsoft is sponsoring an open...(read more)

Silverlight 3 Navigation: Even more on Dynamically Loaded Pages

Posted: 09 Sep 2009 02:51 PM PDT

I got a lot of great feedback on my post Silverlight 3 Navigation: Dynamically Loaded Pages… Now MEF Powered! Dinesh Chandnani decided to do an update to this sample after looking at the feedback and talking to Nikhil Kothari and Wes Haggard from the MEF dev team.   The goals for this update are: Show even more of a web like user model.  With the web, you often see all the links in the navigation, but the actual page only downloads once the user clicked the link.  Lose coupling.  I need to be able to be able dynamically add, update even remove pages from my application without taking down the app and without rebuilding it.

Running The IE VPC’s on other VPC Hosts?

Posted: 09 Sep 2009 11:34 AM PDT

I've had a few people email me, or email the IE blog to ask about running the IE VPC's on other VPC hosts than Microsoft VPC so I figured I'd post this to my blog. I don't think anything has changed in the images since we've started producing them back in 2006. I'm pretty sure they've never worked on in Parallels, Fusion, or any other VPC environment than Microsoft VPC.  For whatever reason, the hardware key on a non-Microsoft VPC host is different than that of the Microsoft VPC host, and so Windows thinks that the hardware has changed, and it requires re-activation.  If you have your own XP activation code, you can use that and reactivate the image. According to the EULA that the legal folks wrote, you're only...(read more)
