Enough with the Orcas CTP anouncements!!!
time to read 1 min | 51 words
Please, I had enough of it. There is really no reason that just about every third blogger that I read will post about the new Oracs CTP. I got it by the ninth post that had copy & paste the list from MSDN to their post.

Easy :). It's quite significant release and let people be happy:)
It may be significant... but perhaps the posters could at least spice up their content a little, where's the value-add in spending 3 sentences to say nothing and give a couple of links everyone else has already seen...
They might as well just post the link in the subject and body of the post and leave out the small talk ;o) at least I could mentally filter it a bit quicker...
hmmm... maybe I am bitter... I sound like a blog natzi.. and on a Friday too... shame on me.
Blogging. The new viral marketing of '07. ;)
oh wait! you just did another freaking announcement for it
the best post was from Thom Robbins though =o)

Thank you very much for informing me about the Orcas CTP! ;)
Wait a minute. "DateTime2"? What? Are we going to start down THAT path now? I was annoyed when MS did that back in the COM days. IIinterface2, IInterface3...
@hit,
There are several good reasons for this, and I agree with this decision.
Take a look at the blog post explaining this.
There isn't anything that explains it better.
Orcas CTP is out? :)
What about half a million posts on LINQ that isn't licensed yet for users to use?
Does this Orcas run on a VM - probably only Microsoft's VM?
Surprised they don't make it 'Vista Only' to force me to spend +$200 to install that.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets frustrated with the LOW-low, lowest, very low, extremely low signal to noise ratio that happens every time there is a major (or even minor) release by Microsoft at blogs.msdn.com (and blogs.asp.net to a lesser extent)
I share your frustration. I'll probably ignore blogs.msdn.com for a few days and miss some good content as a result, but the signal to noise is just too low to sift through the crap.
