Here. One of the major goals of Windows has always been to provide a platform on which ISVs and shareware authors can make money and on which corporate developers can save money.
Towards that end, I've set up an experimental section of the Longhorn Developer Center called "The Business of Software." It's aimed at collecting resources related to Windows business issues.
Check it out and let me know what else you'd like to see there.
Here. I'm very pleased to have Eric Sink of SourceGear fame writing for the experimental Business of Software section [1] of the Longhorn Developer Center. He's not only a successfuly ISV, but also a wonderful communicator and I look forward to reading more of his stuff, in spite of the minor communication problem we started off with. : )

Here. "The CLR Profiler includes a number of very useful views of the allocation profile, including a histogram of allocated types, allocation and call graphs, a time line showing GCs of various generations and the resulting state of the managed heap after those collections, and a call tree showing per-method allocations and assembly loads."
Here. My favorite bit:
"Certainly we believe in this next wave, and we're not just saying that, we're showing with our investment level how sincere we are about that. Over the last four years Microsoft's R&D budget has more than doubled, and that budget is focused on the things you're going to hear about today. It's focused on making 'Longhorn' real, and all the milestones that get us to that point."
Here. "Chris Sells kicks off his inaugural installment of the Longhorn Foghorn column by defining the pillars of 'Longhorn,' the next generation of the Windows operating system, and providing an overview of each pillar."
