39,000 feet, no Internet, no phones, on the way to PDC 09. I am sitting in the plain with Sela COO, which also happens to be my brother (Nepotism!). This is the first time in this week that we can relax and enjoy the flight, yes it is sound strange but I hope that it will be a looooong flight. This is not my first PDC, actually this is the third time that I attend the conference. However the numbers of attendees from Sela rise exponentially. In 2005 there were two of us ( Noam King and myself), last...
We are going to the PDC . And when I say we, I mean 17 experts and 3 managers from Sela . This year we are going to be in all sessions and meet many key professionals from Microsoft and other companies. We will also have a booth . Why do I tell you that? Not just to tell you that it is fun to work at Sela (It is, but it is also very demanding) and that we are investing in our people, but to announce that we are going to talk about all current and new technologies that will be revealed in the PDC...

You don't need the Windows Shell, You don't need sound capabilities, you don't need ... you have got the idea. Using a subset of Windows Server 2008 results a smaller memory footprint, faster server and smaller attack service. For example comparing to the full Windows Server...
One of the main problems of COM interop is the need to distribute the interop libraries with your application. If your application footprint is 50K, and you use only one API from the Office interop library, you will need to have the 1.2MB PIA library installed with your executable. The situation is even worth because the only way to install the Office PIA is by installing the Office redistribution pack which its footprint is over 6MB. To fix this situation Microsoft has developed a new feature in...
The day started with the announcement of a new "Operating System" for the cloud - Windows Azure . Windows Azure is a foundation to build scalable and robust applications and services that will be deployed to Microsoft servers (the "Cloud"). Windows Azure also support a .NET Services such as SQL services, Exchange services and so forth. It seems that .NET MyServices (Hailstorm) is back with a more mature design and implementation. The only problem that I find in this model is that...
