Microsoft has unveiled a set of tools for developers to
build interactive applications for Windows Vista, Office 2007 and
the web.
The new .net Framework 3.0, Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office
2007 and ASP.net Ajax are being made available for download, ahead
of the release of Windows Vista to corporate users at the end of
this month.
The new .net Framework 3.0 is accompanied by a set of Visual
Studio 2005 extensions, designed to allow developers to build
communication, workflow and online identity management applications
that run on Vista.
The Office 2007 plug-in for Visual Studio 2005 Tools will enable
developers to build scalable, line-of-business applications that
tap the functionality of the new version of the Office productivity
suite.
Microsoft also announced the launch of its Imagine Cup 2007
student technology competition and the worldwide rollout of its
Microsoft Student Partners Programme.
