It looked fantastic. The problem for me is that as a 43-year-old with a family and a full-time and pretty intensive job, time is my most precious commodity bothn in an out of work, and I find I don't have anywhere near as much of it as I need to investigate these interesting new developments. The flow of new technologies from just Microsoft hasn't abated over the years, either, so I get to feel that I am always missing out on some potentially time- and effort-slashing tools. Microsoft have now gone and brought out this new Acropolis suite for Visual Studio.NET (Orcas). This looks goo, but when the hell will I get the time to look at it in sufficient depth?

Hidden behind the blue ‘Standards’ block is another, only slightly smaller block with ‘Not Microsoft’ written on it
