So the new version of the .NET Framework is now available.  For some reason it's called version 3.0 even though it's really just Version 2.0 with fries.  I guess it must be something to do with Microsoft's reputation of needing to get to Version 3.0 of a technology before it's seen as mature.

P.S. The extra's are Windows Presentation Foundation, Cardspaces (InfoCard), Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Workflow Foundation.  All of which have some interest for me (especially the workflow stuff).

All the extra technologies are cool - particularly the workflow stuff.  I can see the potential use for each and every one of these extra technologies in what I do at work and it's great to see Microsoft are making them part of the standard .NET framework.

Looks like it's time do some reading...
