I should have put the kicks-button to the article faster...

FYI, article is about Visual Studio 2008 (9.0), not VS 8.0 :)

Silverlight can be embedded on any web page / technology, AFAIK. It's client-side, after all.

SQL Server 2008 requires VS 2008 SP1 only when installed on a machine with Visual Studio 2008. On servers that shouldn't be a problem (expect TFS2008 servers). It comes with .NET 3.5 SP1 RTM.

Visual Studio 2008 SP1 will be released on Monday and .NET 3.5 SP1 redistributable probably, too.

@dstar: Seems like we have to wait until Monday, before we can install it on computers with VS: http://coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/08/sql-server-2008-rtm-requiresinstalls.html

Express Edition (and CE?) will be available at the end of the month.

Installing now... First, .NET 3.5 SP1 (no mentions of it being beta or anything) :)

"Hard work pays off later, laziness pays off now"

But seriously, I agree: good article :)

Well, at least it is very slightly related to the topic.

DNK-topic: I hope it comes with the final version of .NET 3.5 SP1 :)

It must be some prioritizing thing, then. First Jemm, then companies, finally the one where that powerrush-guy works ;)

36 steps?? I'll leave that long walks to athletes..

Well, currently it comes at ~860KB/s. Tomorrow maybe slower.. or whenever they announce it somewhere officially.

One size fits all :)

They all are 3 gigs, even the web.

thanks for participating in being banned -program ;)
