This month in particular have seen several new free applications from Microsoft.
The wave starts with Internet Explorer 7. Lots of new features, most notably is the Feed reader. The feed reader is integrated with the system, so you can expect a single database of all the feeds you're reading, no matter what client application you choose.
This week, Windows Media Player 11 hits the desktops. Featuring an improved media library, WMP looks cool to the eyes when compared to iTunes.
Finally, Microsoft have also released Accounting Express 2007. This is a financial management application toned down from the Dynamics line, provided for Small and Medium Business. I definitely going to try this one.
All of them are downloadable for free from Microsoft Download Site. Get yours now!

I've just found (back) my SSCLI DVD. When I'm trying to open up the contents, it seems IE7 (or Windows Vista) still have a critical bug. I'm running build 5600, and will confirm tomorrow on build 5744.
When you tried opening up a web page in a DVD writer, IE forward the address to "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Burn\" folder, which is the default temporary burn folder. Since this is a burnt DVD, there will be no file in that folder. So IE can't display any of it. Feeding the address directly to IE, e.g. "G:\Default.htm", does not solve the problem.
I seem to have lost the Product Feedback Application shortcut found in Beta builds, so this might not get into RTM. LOL.
What a bug...
UPDATE: I've just found a workaround, just load the CD/DVD to a non-writer drive. :D
UPDATE: It seems that this bug has already been crushed in RC2. Thank goodness! RC2 behaves the same.

Earlier today, Google have completed a deal that bought YouTube.
It's not about the deal, but it's the numbers.
YouTube started with US$ 3.5mil, plus US$ 8mil several months after launch. But now, not 2 years yet from it's unofficial launch, it is worth US$ 1.65bil (roughly almost 100 times much more).
Anyone starting up a company now?

Reminder: People who were present in last year's Ready to Launch Event will need to redeem their Exam Voucher before the end of this year. That means it's due within three months.
I have two voucher myself, and still doesn't know which exam to take. Any recommendation for first timers?
On another note, I'm now officially a job-seeker. I have finished my undergraduate studies yesterday, and now seeking a high-paying-but-fun job. :D
