I have been using Foldershare for last 1 1/2 years and think it to be one of the*great tools MS has been providing. I normally do not need to visit the website as I do not create / modify frequently. However, the earlier version of the website was quite fast and was easy to use. However, last two days I have been trying to use the new Foldershare website,*it seems to be*so slow. It take very long just to sign in into the website. Even matter of adding another computer to the library seems to be taking few minutes. I am accessing the service currently from Malaysia. How is your experience ? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

What you think of this move? Maybe I'm a idealist but I'd have loved to see some incarnation of Singularity on the OLPC and maybe port Silverlight to it for writing educational software and book readers etc all in managed code. I wonder how much space there will be left on the device for actual software after XP install. :D More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Yves Rossy, known as the 'Fusion Man,' flies with a jet-powered single wing over the Alps in Bex, Switzerland, Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Some people go fishing on their day off. Yves Rossy likes to jump out of a small plane with a pair of jet-powered wings and perform figure eights above the Swiss Alps. The revolutionary human flying machine comes after five years of training and many more years of dreaming.(AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus) http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080514/capt.4a3e0c5bb8644765b43ba01e42ac2eec.aptopix_switzerland_rocket_man_ans104.jpg?x=400&y=270&sig=heoKmWvG60gCr8rPbvbLpA-- original link More...

I know you've heard it before, but we are heading down the final path to ship.... really we are :) As part of that path, we've been working hard for the past few months focused on making sure that our new code base meets the expectations of you folk, the Niners. What has that meant? Well, it meant new features of course, but it also meant extending some of our existing code to make it more enjoyable for how people use Channel 9... even modifying our initial ideas around the UI and the UX to make it both an improvement and familiar. That is probably already enough talk for most people, so for all of those folks ... please feel free to jump over to the beta (http://beta.channel9.msdn.com), check it out, and provide feedback. I do want to explain what is new/improved, what is missing and what are known beta issues that we are planning to fix in the short term. We'll go through these features/differences in an upcoming dev diary, but for now here it is in basic text form. What's New/Improved Browser/Standards compatibility Nearly identical experience across IE and FF and the site is very usable in Opera and Safari Font scaling (make your text size larger/smaller in your browser and the site stays usable and looking good) is now possibleVideos Support for multiple video and audio formats (MP4, Zune formatted WMV, High Quality WMV, Regular WMV, WMA and MP3) with corresponding RSS feeds for use with aggregators including Zune and iTunes Silverlight Player with an available iFrame for inclusion in other web sites The ability to tell people about your favorite videos using a direct post to Facebook, Digg or Deli.cio.us linkForums/Commenting Asynchronous (AJAX) paging through comments on videos, threads in the forums and more New "Reply To" model that automatically displays the comment you are replying to hooked up to your comment New Editor with broad browser supportUser Submitted content (wiki/sandbox) Added commenting to wiki pages Async history browsing and editing New syntax matching codeplex's wiki syntax Tagging support added to the Sandbox, so that uploaded samples can be categorized (think C#, Web, WPF) What's Missing/Coming Soon "Recent Changes" pages/feeds in the wiki are no longer available (will return) "Compare with previous" no longer available (will return) IE 6 support has issues, mostly around our extensive use of transparent PNGs :) Profiles are really lacking compared to how they are in the current C9 (some improvements planned, will plan more based on your feedback!). Watched Threads is gone. User info (blog, web site, caption) on posts is gone, but will come back later in some form of quick info pop-up. No Emoticons in the editor (coming soon) No Poll No Quote option for replying Note: The beta itself is missing some things just because it is a beta, including Live ID sign-in... and our data isn't anywhere near up-to-date between the live and beta sites. I'm sure there is more, but please check it out now and let us know what you think. There is a feedback forum (http://beta.channel9.msdn.com/forums/feedback) on the new site, but I've also created a page for the beta on uservoice.com, you can check it out here http://channel9.uservoice.com and you can use that site to submit comments, ideas, and to vote on other people's feedback.
