by Arie Slob

Hello Windows users,

Office XP Microsoft Office XP has been released to retail stores this week in 15 countries. Also available are several Office XP-family products, including Microsoft Visio® 2002 drawing and diagramming software, Microsoft MapPoint® 2002 business mapping software, Microsoft Publisher 2002, and the Microsoft FrontPage® 2002 Web-site creation and management tool. More than 100 Web presence providers are also supporting FrontPage 2002-based Web sites.

You can read up on Office XP in a small review I've done around a month ago.

Microsoft .NET is an innovative software framework that promises to change software development as we know it. This book answers the question "What is Microsoft .NET and how do I profit from it?" Each chapter is written in a logical, pyramidal format, with simpler, high-level concepts introduced first, followed by a more detailed technical discussion, so readers can easily choose how deep they wish to go into each chapter.

This book is clearly intended as an overview of the .NET framework. One should realize that much of the .NET framework is still being developed by Microsoft, and could therefore change before the final release of .NET, although the author points out which sections are likely to change.
