Microsoft Links to Spam Site

This is too funny, I wrote to WaggEd an hour ago, but they still haven't fixed it.

See the Link to a IDC Whitepaper on the Right?  Don't click-on it just hover your mouse and read - go.microsoftid.com

Here is that IDC White Paper on the Risks of Obtaining and Using Pirated Software from go.microsoft.com

Edit: The Links on the site have now been corrected, WaggEd’s Rapid Response Team never did acknowledge my email.

ASP.Net AJAX RC1

ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Release Candidate Now Available

ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Release Candidate is now available for download. ASP.NET AJAX is a free framework for creating client-centric, interactive Web applications that work with major browsers and operating systems. New features include additional globalization support, dynamic invocation of web service proxies, and substitution logic, compression and caching support for the Script Resource handler. The RC release is the final preview of the fully supported version of ASP.NET AJAX, scheduled for release in January.

The Microsoft AJAX Library is also available in an easy-to-install, standalone package for development on non-Windows systems. For more information, visit the ASP.NET AJAX site.

To help you get started with ASP.NET AJAX, virtually all of the “How Do I” with ASP.NET AJAX videos have been updated for the Release Candidate.

This whitepaper provides step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade existing ASP.NET AJAX Beta2 applications to the ASP.NET AJAX RC build.
