Third Year in a Row Yesterday I received the mail from Microsoft that congratulate me for being a Microsoft MVP for the third time. It’s is a honor for me to get the award three years in a row. This time the receiving of the mail was somewhat weird since I saw on Twitter that people got the mail and I didn’t get it… Apparently, my Gmail mail account (which is my personal mail account) “thought” that the congratulation mail is spam and moved it into the spam directory. This of course shows the true...

This is the reason that a tool like Web Platform Installer was very welcome to my arsenal of tools. In the post I’ll describe what is the Web Platform Installer and show a scenario...
MIX10 – Summary Home sweet home! I arrived today back to Israel after a trip of six days to the MIX10 conference (three days conference and almost three days “on the roads”). To tell the truth, I was a little disappointed from the conference. I’ve expected more relevant information and less recycling of things that I already know. As you know (if you followed the MIX10 ), there were announcements about Windows Phone 7 , Silverlight 4 , OData protocol, IE9 and more. After being at the conference and...
