I know a couple people were looking for a tool to mount ISO images in windows Vista so I thought this would be worth posting as its rumored to work in Vista (I haven't tried it yet):

OpenAjax Alliance
I just stumbled upon http://www.openajax.org/, which sports an impressive list of companies participating (from Sun, to Google, to SAP).
It is a little concerning that Microsoft is missing from the list - Atlas is by far the most advanced Ajax framework I've seen to date.
It may be that all the players participating in OpenAjax are java oriented when it comes to the web, or it may be that Atlas is too .NET oriented and Microsoft prefers it that way. Either way - I'm concerned.

Vista RC1
I took the plunge and loaded up VISTA RC1 on my Sager 9860 this weekend.
It warned me upon checking compatibility that the sound card drivers were not compatible. I went ahead and let it do a fresh install - I love the way it backed up Program Files, Windows, and Documents and Settings folders.
The install was flawless - but there were a ton of unrecognized hardware devices afterwords. I installed a driver (XP version) or 3, until I got a BSOD. After rebooting I only have one unrecognized hardware device (which is my soundcard).
I'm now downloading Office 2007 - will go all out ;)
I did try World of Warcraft on Vista and it seems to work perfectly. One oddity though, I tried playing a video clip, but WMP wouldn't play it because the sound card was locked or unavailable (I'll take unavailable for $1000 Alex).

Hey Jesse - you were looking for this
PrintForm Component 1.0 - Directly Print a WinForm
A while back we had a requirement to print a WinForm (designed for a tablet PC no less), it had to print exactly like the display. We found a few options - but even got our MS evangalist involved. We have a solution already - but this might have been easier...

More than I realized
Here is a great post of some free software from Microsoft that you may or may not have heard of.
I was using a few of these (like TweakUI and the Alt-Tab replacement) but there are a few I'd like to play with.

Virtual Keybord and Mouse switcher
I just recently got my Sager 9860 back, so now I have 2 computers on my desk (3 if you count my work laptop). I love dual monitor setups and was looking for a good solution to leveraging the laptop as a second monitor.
I want to work accross 2 monitors, but not necessarily only leverage 1 machine, being I have the laptop their it makes sense to harness its computing power.
This looks like the answer. Synergy allows you to mouse from machine to machine just like you would mouse accross monitors in a dual-display scenario. Whichever display gets mouse focus also gets keyboard focus, and it even centralizes the clipboard so you can cut and paste between machines.
I'm looking forward to trying it out!

InstallPad
Ok - this looks worth trying out:
InstallPad
Designed for setting up a new system, its basically a download manager with some ability to find the latest versions of software.
