Strange issue during SQL Server 2008 RC0 setup
I'm installing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 RC0 on a Virtual PC image and during the .NET 3.5 SP1 beta installation (it seems mandatory!) setup asked to close itself! The message was something like this: "In order to continue the setup please close the following application: .NET 3.5 Sp1 beta 1" :O. I've pressed the Ignore button and everything is going well.

Firefox 3 litigates with Silverlight 1.0
Reading the Nigel Parker's blog you can see why your Silverlight apps stopped to work if used with Firefox 3. It seems that the problem is during Silverlight's version identification. As result you obtain the banner asking you to install Silverlight instead of the Silverlight application. For recent version of Silverlight such as 2.0 beta 1 and 2.0 beta 2, everything works fine.

SQL Server 2008 RC 0 is out
I'm reviewing a couple of books on SQL Server 2008. Thanks to them I've been able to appreciate new features and improvements provided by the new version. If you want to try the RC0 release of SQL Server 2008 you can obtain it at this address. It is valid just for 180 days. If you want to use it with Visual Studio 2008 remember to download the SP 1 beta.

[OT] My apologies...
Hello everybody,
I'm here to apologize with you about the update frequency of this blog. A lot of things happened from my last post. For example, I'm just come back from my honeymoon! This means I'm married, yes. And, do you know about the time that marriage's preparation consume? This is the main reason about the scarce blog updating. Moreover, I was busy to update my book's content. At last, I've finished my work and the book is about to be printed. The Ebook version of the book can be found here.
By the way, I'm thinking to change my blog from an unique LINQ prospective to a more generic ones. I like to follow other technologies such as Silverlight, XNA, etc.
So, stay tuned, I'll try to do my best to provide you updated information on the coolest Microsoft new technologies.
