Here is what’s on my Windows 7 machine. What’s on yours? What am I missing in my configuration? Please comment or cross post. I’ve been playing on a Windows 7 Beta x64 since immediately after it was released. It works Great – except for a very few minor things like my 3G connection. Therefore I decided to re-install a x86 version of the same OS and while at it I decided to log what I installed. Just for kicks. Makes for a pretty good blog post too I think?

Thanks to Softhouse we have sponsorship for a place to hold the 3rd ALT.NET Oresund meeting. This will take place in Malmo on the 27th starting at 18.00 hrs.

The following post will give you a resource with a good run through of how to begin coding with the core functionality of Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) which is part of .NET Framework 4.0.
