The most recent release of these technologies is called the February CTP and includes the following:
Microsoft has released the Windows Vista Product line-up this evening . For the past few weeks, the SKU's for Windows Vista have been much speculated about.
So going by what Microsoft released tonight, Windows Media Center won't be available in every SKU, rather only the Home Premium and Ultimate Versions. No mention of Media Center for Buiness and Enterprise were made. Also, it looks as though Aero won't be included in Home Basic and of course Starter. I wonder what the different between Home Basic and Starter is?
It also seems BitLocker is going to be available only to the Enterprise edition - but will it be included in the Ultimate edition? I attended a web conference last Novemember and Microsoft representatives said that the Enterprise edition will offer features for the Enterprise not available in any other SKU. I wonder if BitLocker is one of them?
There is no mention of any "N" Versions for Windows Vista at this time.
All versions will be availalbe in 32bit or 64bit.

ASP.NET “Atlas” This is a package of new Web development technologies that integrates an extensive set of client script libraries with the rich, server-based development platform of ASP.NET 2.0. “Atlas” enables you to develop Web applications that can update data on a Web page by making direct calls to a Web server — without needing to round trip the page. With “Atlas”, you can take advantage of the best of ASP.NET and server-side code while doing much of the work in the browser, enabling richer user experiences.
“Atlas” enables you to build applications with better performance than traditional Web applications in two key aspects — responsiveness and user interface (UI). Traditional Web applications require a round trip for updating data or controls, which can result in long waits. “Atlas”, on the other hand, dramatically improves application performance by reducing the need for round trips.
In addition, since “Atlas” performs much of the processing in the client, it enables you to build a richer UI giving users a superior user experience over traditional Web applications. Not only does “Atlas” give you the power to create all the controls and features users have come to expect from a rich UI (such as drag and drop, auto-completion, mouse hovering behavior, and more), but more importantly, it enables you to build interactive, data-bound controls that allow users to sort, update, or change their view of data with few or no round trips to the server.

MUGH Core members who organised the community Launch at Hyderabad on Feb 4th really made it happen. More than 450 developers attended this event.This some thing which almost all the audience like it. Community launch started at 9:45 with some introduction presentations about MUGH and then we had announced the prizes for Techfest and SQL wiz winners. Then Arun session was started and then we had Anjana's session. Both Arun's and Anjana's session were well received by the Audience and it was more like interactive sessions. Most of the time speakers have to spend time in answering the questions raised by the audiences, which ultimately tells how mature the audience are.
All the session went were well with developers taking part interactively in all the sessions. Most of developers telling that they liked Pratap session very well.
Wanna see more comments on this Event by the Audience
Those who missed it really missed it !!!
The patterns & practices Enterprise Library is a library of application blocks designed to assist developers with common enterprise development challenges. Application blocks are a type of guidance, provided as source code that can be used "as is," extended, or modified by developers to use on enterprise development projects. This release of Enterprise Library includes six application blocks (Caching, Cryptography, Data Access, Exception Handling, Logging and Security), and provides similar functionality to the previous releases for the .NET Framework 1.1; however, Enterprise Library has been redesigned to use the new capabilities of the .NET Framework 2.0.
Highlights of this release include:
No new releases of Enterprise Library are planned for 2006. As customer feedback is received about the January 2006 release, the patterns & practices team will evaluate when it may make sense to release an updated version and what this should contain. The team will also evaluate the opportunity to update Enterprise Library as new platform technologies such as WinFX and Language Integrated Query (LINQ) are released. In the meantime, the team is focusing on new deliverables that will assist developers in using multiple application blocks together to form solid end-to-end applications. More information about this initiative will be available on the Enterprise Library community site.
Kurnool launch had been published in Hindu, Popular National News Paper. But Anjana's name was printed instead of Arun ( last minute change in schedule ) . i hope they had taken from the website before the launch might had mistaken this.

Due to the Security restrictions that are kept by police because of Congress party Plenary session happening at GMC Balayogi Stadium, Gachbowli. Which is very near in to proximity of the venue of Launch and all the particpants will feel difficult to pass these roads to reach the venue, Community Launch had been post phoned to 4th February 2006.
This is s gift from MUGH to Congress Party because if we have launch on the same day very near to the venue of APCC then all the congress leaders will be willing to learn the Technology rather than taking part in their leaders sessions. So we changed the date as a gift to Andhra Pradesh Congress party.
Just Kidding
MUGH Microsoft User Group, Hyderabad had organised a session on MS Certifications. Speaker for the session is Vishal Joshi from MS, Redmond. He had clearly explained the New generation certifications coming from Microsoft and he had answered all the quereis very patiently raised by the audience on upgradation paths. This was good session as i had feeling earlier that Microsoft Certifcations are not that much of great value as i heard from many of my friends that you go through the exam even if you sit for 3 days and read all the multiple choice questions available in the training kits. Due to Vishal's session i had changed my mind on this and plan to take MS certification. That's really cool session by Vishal.
