Internet Explorer 8 and ASP.NET MVC 1.0 released on MIX09

Well, well, well… Microsoft has released two new “things”…

First, you can all enjoy the official 1.0 release of ASP.NET MVC by downloading it from the Microsoft Download Center.

I must say that I’m not really thrilled about it, because I’m already enjoyng an excellent MVC framework for ASP.NET called ProMesh.NET. It’s lightweight, open source and a perfect match with the open source ORM CoolStorage.NET. Both projects will become part of the Vici Project collection of free tools.

Of course I’ll try out ASP.NET MVC, but I must say I expect it to be “too much, too heavy”. I like it to be no-nonsense and lightweight.

Second… The horror of Internet Explorer continues… Microsoft released the 8.0 version of their web browser. As a real opposer to Internet Explorer I will not install it to use as my daily web browser, but I need it to test my web applications. You want to download it and install it out of free will, please visit the Internet Explorer homepage.
