pdc-2008-day-2-lunch-break

Taking a quick break to install Vista SP1.  I'm prepping my machine to install Win7 and VS2010 because I'm apparently certifiably insane (so says Ray and Richard).

The Parallel Framework stuff I saw in the last session is incredibly sweet.  The lightweight Tasks are pure genius and Parallel LINQ is so silly easy I would find it hard to not use.  While that is easy to say now since I have yet to actually play with it, but from the demo there are very little new concepts that you have to learn and the framework allows scaling to nnumber of cores simple.

After my little lunch break here I'm heading over to "Oslo" : Customizing and Extending the Visual Design Experience.
