Office Conference plus WinFX and Vista
I'm in Redmond this week for the Office 2007 Dev. Con. and during the keynote, Bill Gates and Steven Sinofsky did an open mike session.
They announced VSTO 3 which means tons of cool managed goodness in Office 2007.
However, I questioned both of them on WinFX and Vista. I feel we're getting a mixed message related to managed code development (a message which isn't helped by having WinFX OFF by default in the Feb CTP of Vista).
So I asked. Well Bill himself said there were some issues with installation perf and they've fixed that and now WinFX will be ON by default in Vista.
Wahoo!
End of line.
