Brian Harry details the current stats, including 300,000 work items across 148 million files.

.Net roadmap

A nice summary from Scott Guthrie about where ASP.NET, Silverlight and IIS7 are heading. I'm continually stunned at how productive Scott's team are – they seem to be pumping out new (and useful) stuff all the time.
