Dustin Mihalik's BlogBlog from the middle of everywhereLonghorn Feature: Bluetooth- November 12, 2003 I often say bad things about WindowsXP's lack of built-in Bluetooth support. I know there are plenty of articles that state that Bluetooth is dead, but with support on the PocketPC, it seems like there should be some support in XP. Bluetooth support on the PocketPC is much better than on XP.I assumed since I had not heard anything about Bluetooth support on Longhorn, that it was not there. I was actually thinking of writing a blog entry about what it was missing. I decided I should test...http://weblogs.asp.net/dmihalik/archive/2003/11/11/37048.aspx Longhorn feature of the night- November 11, 2003 I've found quite a few new features in Longhorn that I did not see at the PDC that are not really development related, but are still worth mentioning.

As much as I need 18th of my screen taken up by a clock and a quick launch bar, I've kept it off until tonight. Tonight I went looking for some sample sidebar tiles before I started working on my own. There are a few samples in the Longhorn SDK, including the tile RSS viewer tile that was running during the PDC Keynote on Monday. I've been doing all my development in...http://weblogs.asp.net/dmihalik/archive/2003/11/04/35891.aspx Longhorn: First impressions- November 3, 2003 I installed Longhorn on my home dev box this weekend. Since I only played with it on the lab computers, I did not see much of the install and setup. Since the major thing that I had drilled into my head at the PDC was that Microsoft want's my opinion, I thought i would post my first impressions. The install was very nice. When I put in the DVD, I got a very nice GUI installer rather than the text-based ones from 2000 & XP. UI on the installer was very clean, and it...http://weblogs.asp.net/dmihalik/archive/2003/11/02/35400.aspx |
