Windows OS and Cars Shouldn't Mix
Microsoft and Ford are about to announce a new software suite for
cars--Sync, which will offer navigation, as well as the ability to talk
hands-free on your cell phone, check your email, and download music. Check
my blog for why I think this is a very bad and dangerous idea.

O'Reilly Releases Windows Developer Power Tools
Just in time for the new year, O'Reilly has released a new and
encyclopedic guide to more than 170 free and open source tools,
components, and frameworks for Windows, ASP.NET, and .NET developers.
Written by two Microsoft MVPs, James Avery and Jim Holmes, Windows
Developer Power Tools is the most comprehensive guide ever published to
the world of tools that lies beyond Visual Studio. Contents range from
such well-known tools as Dotfuscator, TortoiseSVN, and the free Microsoft
Visual Studio Express editions to lesser-known gems such as WiX and Trac.
The tools are sorted into 23 chapters according to their role in the
development cycle, and each chapter begins with a "quick pick" list to
help readers gain an overview of what's available in a given category.
Many of the articles are written by the creators of the tools they describe.

Scott Hanselman, who maintains his own list of favorite tools at
<http://www.hanselman.com/tools>, writes in his Foreword, "James and Jim have
done a massive amount of work for us, applying their years of development
expertise and enthusiasm for great tools into the creation of [this book]."

Mike Gunderloy, host of the popular Larkware News "Daily Grind"
<http://www.larkware.com/> says, "James Avery and Jim Holmes have done
great work in locating and documenting a vast collection of useful tools
here.... The half dozen that make their way into your daily process will
more than repay the time that it takes you to read their work."
For more information, check out <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596527549/>
as well as the new Windows Developer Power Tools website maintained by the
authors at <http://www.windevpowertools.com>.

See you next week.
