NetFX 3 ?
So the announcement came out recently that the WinFX addons to the .Net Framework are going to be rolled into a release called .Net Framework 3.0. This has caused some upset because .net Framework 3.0 will actually be using CLR version 2.0 and C#2.0. What's going to happen when C#3.0 comes out. Jazon Zander believes they are going to call that .Net Framework 3.5. So many numbers, so much confusion.
Open Source vs In house development
Frank makes a great point about the fact that Open Source business applications are more of a competitor to in house development than commercial applications.
Extending CAB Commands
I looked for this in the docs and on google and I couldn't find it, so I figured it might be worth sharing. To extend the command object, create a class that derives from command and then override the CreateCommand method in WorkItem. In the CreateCommand method just create and return a new instance of your specialized command object.
