Since Vista is the new buzz nowadays, I guess its important for us to see what new Windows releases are coming our way from Microsoft.
Reading a friends' blog, I came accross this http://jameskyton.wordpress.com/2006/12/29/beyond-windows-vista-fiji-and-vienna/. It seems Microsoft is planning new Windows releases throughout the coming few years. Namely, codenames Fiji and Vienna.
I'm excited, all over again!

Building Custom Types
When creating applications, I predominately use 'Classes' (sometimes, where appropriate, 'Structures') to model real life problems. However, to set things straight, it is important for everyone to realize that the .Net Framework offers 6 (5 in C#) types to build custom types.
They are in random order; Class, Structure, Enumeration (Enum), Delegate, Interface and Module (not available in C#). All of which, except for the 'Interface', inherit from the Object data type, which is the root type of all types in .Net.
Just a thought for you developers out there.

InfoConnect 2007, Kuwait
InfoConnect is Kuwait's version of Gitex (Dubai) or Cebit (Germany). For the better part its a whos-who of IT and telephony in Kuwait. InfoConnect is currently on until the 9th of February.
So, when Microsoft asked me to present Vista to the visitors of their booth, as an MVP, I was ecstatic.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon at the booth. I am AMAZED at the kind of hype Windows Vista has in the market. Everybody wants to know everything about everything about Windows.
Funny thing is, whenever I see the booth with only 2 people, I would simply demonstrate the 3D flipping on the 42-inch display screen and 'viola', people would come storming in!
Will give you more on this later.

Big Buzz from Microsoft
If you live in the Arabian Gulf area then you will probably be interested in this. Rumor has it that a colossal event is coming our way from Microsoft "near the end of March". Stay tuned for more soon...
