Creating Visual Studio Project Templates
Visual Studio 2005 offers a great tool for those who create largely

project items, or even largely identical code to new projects. Ron
Petrusha shows you how.

IIS Overtakes Apache
Well, it's finally happened. Port80 Software reports that IIS 6.0 has now
overtaken Apache for hosting corporate web sites of Fortune 1000
companies. Market share among the different web server platforms is now
