Yes, really powerful... I've just know this tool, Gush, that groups together a powerful Instant Messaging Application (based on Jabber Protocol), a powerful News Aggregator, with categorical organization and viewing of RSS feeds and Announcements (like a shared Blog via IM). All the application is based on a wonderful User Interface, totally customizable... a must to download!!
An interesting, free and fully-featured
Mail Server application (SMTP/POP3/Imap4/WebMail) (written entirely in C#, with sources). Thanks to
Paschal L for the segnalation...
I'm personally interested to know if someone of you that works on Microsoft (or collabouration with) are using other Operating Systems (such as Linux) at home or for personal interests.
I'd like to receive feedback and opinions because I'm curious...
I want to signal a new project by Gianluca Carucci here in Italy: QueryDOM. QueryDOM library includes a mechanism called Query Document Object Model (QueryDOM) that allows developers that need to manipulate sql query to generate sql queries at runtime, based on a single model representing the query to "render". The library is written in C# language and it's compatibile with .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1, Mono and sscli .net framework implementation (Rotor). QueryDOM uses only Framework Class Library (FCL) and doesn't use external libraries. To represent sql query, QueryDOM elements are linked to each other to form a data structure known as the QueryDOM graph, which models the structure of sql grammar.
If someone want to try it, these are the references:

In my last post, when I've signalled the discovered of the new vulnerability on ASN.1, I've forgot to mention an other new vulnerability (but fortunately, this have a Patch ready). This vulnerability is in the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), and it exists because of the method that WINS uses to validate the length of specially-crafted packets. On Windows Server 2003 this vulnerability could allow an attacker who sent a series of specially-crafted packets to a WINS server to cause the service to fail. Most likely, this could cause a denial of service, and the service would have to be manually restarted to restore functionality.
Patches are ready here:
