This one is about 2 weeks late due to my trip to PDC.  Some of the "interesting" things from the week prior to PDC have been superseded by announcements made since then, so this is probably shorter than normal...

• Updated Sync Services Framework available
  
• Freeing up disk space under Vista
  
• Good post on languages just being tools for solving problems, and how one language is not necessarily the best tool for every job.
  
• A developers view on the processes involved in building Windows 7
  
• Factoring of assemblies in Silverlight applications
  
• Getting into the "flow" when coding, why cubes can be disruptive and maybe a reason why pair programming can be more effective
  
• Automated concurrency testing with CHESS - just Win32 at the mo, but with .Net support on the way
  
  • And on a related topic, the unit testing tool Pex is also now available
