   Great upgrade. Been using the beta which has been pretty solid. Glad the final version is here. So many new feature for programmers and developers to try out. JavaScript Intellisense for Visual Studio, Dynamic data, fun fun!

   Review - Microsoft .NET Framework (v3.5)

   Thank you Banquo!
   
   Users ignorant of what the software is just feel they have to comment because it's from 'Microsoft'! Sheesh. Nice to have some intelligent life around here.

   Review - Azangara

   Pretty fun game but way too short. Great platformer style. Colorful graphics and great framerate, even on a modest PC. The sound is fun too and the main character is kind of catchy (He should have been flourished with some more appropriate sounds while he runs around), and while he's not Mario, he's still easy on the eyes.
   
   Come developers!!! You could have let us play through a few levels at least! The game sample is way too short!
   
   It would have gotten a 5, but unless you are buying it, it's only worth 10mins of fun, maybe less.

5. Comment - Paul Allen's tell-all memoir: Microsoft cofounders clashed over style, money

   Great summation to that story. I does take a quote on quote 'jerk' to make big things happen, it seems more often that not.

   Betanews meets with cheap journalism. I've been turning to this site for news for so long, but it seems to have lost it's way...

7. Comment - Microsoft's move toward XML standards leads to $200 million penalty

   When did Betanews become so 'anti-Microsoft'???? MS news on your site is almost totally worthless because of the level of bias your articles bring 90% of the time. I personally think you're doing yourselves and your readers a disservice.
   
   "To this day, even now that Microsoft's efforts led to the publication of an international standard based on OOXML, now called ISO 29500, people are wondering -- often aloud -- where's the string that's attached to this rug that Microsoft will eventually pull?" - To quote your article.
   
   Forget questioning how a verdict like this will affect the rest of the industry - you just seem to be happy MS lost.
