3D Datagrid...

The control that I use often during my work all day is the Datagrid... I've set up a lot of customization to obtain a good grid, but this new grid that I've found on the net is really wonderful and amazing... a datagrid with 3D effects. Really cool!!

Embedded VC++ Service Pack 3

If someone of us is interested to high performance mobile development, today is out the new eMbedded Visual C++ v4.0 SP3 .

eMbedded VC++ 4.0 SP3 merges the functionality of eMbedded VC++ 4.0 SP1 and eMbedded VC++ 4.0 SP2 and enables development using a single development machine to target Windows CE 4.0, 4.10 or 4.20 Platforms.

Check it!

Microsoft will compete with Google?

I've just read this notice:

"Microsoft chairman Bill Gates is set to challenge the dominance of Google with his own high-powered search engine, which has been in secret development for more than a year. A Microsoft spokesman said: "Microsoft believes that the search engine experience can be dramatically improved and we are investing significant financial and human resources in a new type of search engine that will be a major improvement on existing offerings."

Why this? Why always this absurd competition? Why not a collabouration to improve an existent search engine?

Google is now the best search engine and I think that MS will not reach the Google power (just a little check on MSN Search... terrible!!). I think that MS could obtain many advantages with a collabouration with Google, not with a competition.
