• Indigo - Better Productivity

  Posted by anandm to Longhorn From India on Nov 20 2003, 11:37 AM

  Steven VanRoekel, director of WS in MS says in this article in adtmag that Indigo will increase productivity by decreasing the number of lines of code a developer has to write to use WS.

  The numbers interest me. For writing a secure and reliable example WS

  With .NET Framework - 60K LOC

  With WSE - 12K-13K LOC

  With Indigo - 1 LOC

• First Looks at Longhorn

  Posted by anandm to Longhorn From India on Nov 10 2003, 09:13 AM

  Having missed PDC and being so far away from action, it was only on Friday that I had my first look at Longhorn at the India MVPs day.(More info on this at my personal blog)

  Deepak from MS India demonstrated the PDC build on his laptop of 15 mins. First impression, it is slow, but cool. The side bar looks impressive the first time but then loses its charm after a while. I suppose once you have used it for some time you forget it being cool, but then it becomes indespensible like the taskbar....:-)

  Waiting for some way to get my hands on the PDC builds, but seems like it is going to take sometime...:-(
