Office 2007 RTM has been posted to MSDN. I’m downloading the Office 2007 Pro (400ish MB) and OneNote (200ish MB) right now. I’ve been using Office 2007 Beta for the last six months or so and have been pretty pleased with it. The changes to OneNote have been especially good. I’ll not go into a big “what’s new in Office” speal since you can find that all over the place on line.
I’ve been wondering about an eReader is a good idea. Sony just released their Sony Reader eReader and I liked the feel and look of it. Borders had a demo of it at their store. In my thinking about whether I could justify purchasing an eReader I started to think about what I would actually read on it. First of all, most of the books I’ve read in the last year I couldn’t find in an (legal) eBook format.
I’ve been working with some XML lately and was passing it around from object to object via an XPathNavigator. At one location in the code I wanted to check the XML against a schema. In 1.1 this required you to do a lot of round about moving of the data out of the XPathNavigator into a reader, etc, etc. So, with all the changes in 2.0 I did a quick search on Google to see what I could find for using XPathNavigator and checking schemas.
