IE7 Update and a bit on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform.

IE7 is being pushed out as a security update possibly as early as today, but definitely by the end of the month. Windows XP users will still need to download the .NET 3.0 runtime to view Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications, but because XBAPs (the browser version of WPF) will require IE7, this means most XP users will only have to download the runtime and not a new browser.
Computerworld has an interview with Mike Milinkovich, executive director of Eclipse. I think Eclipse is a very interesting RIA solution, and one that I don't know enough about. The interview does a good job of shedding some light on the Eclipse strategy.

Just those couple of items today. Everyone was busy talking about Google and YouTube yesterday, which didn't leave much airspace for anything else.
