Here's some quickfire blogging before I go to sleep.

Larry Osterman, a developer who's worked at Microsoft for 21.5 years, laughs at the report that Microsoft would rewrite 60% of Vista in two months: "Anyone who's ever worked on a project that involves more than a thousand or so lines of code understands how utterly laughable that is."

Yeah, Steve Rowe, I'm disappointed that blogs didn't jump on the headline faster and harder too. But, that just shows why corporations need blogs too (to make sure things stay factual out there and participate in the conversation, even when the conversation goes ugly).

Scott Byer, of Adobe, explains why Adobe can't release Intel versions of all its Macintosh applications right now (universal ones are coming soon, he says). Microsoft's Rick Schaut adds more to the conversation.

Yes, I too saw Charlie Owen's demo of a new RSS aggregator for Media Center at Mix06 and I too was enthralled with it like Giovanni Gallucci was.

I've been through many of the notes from Mix06. Here's my favorites. Randy Holloway. Dion Hinchcliffe. Alex Barnett. I love what Trapper Markelz said: Everywhere you went, you heard lots about RSS. Kelly Goto (awesome designer!) said Mix06 was "quite an event." Chris Adams. Mike Swanson reveals that we're gonna make Mix06's content available to everyone for free. The Ajaxian blog reports on Ajax stuff at Mix (Atlas) and says "the demos of WPF/E were very impressive." WPF/E lets you run Windows Presentation Foundation applications on both Windows and Macs. More to come on that soon. Oh, Harry Pierson reports that at Mix they were promising Linux and Firefox support too.

Tara Hunt is a pinko marketer. Marketing folks? You MUST read her blog for the past two weeks. Good stuff, along the lines of Cluetrain Manifesto (Doc Searls linked to her, thanks). Tara, you should do a book with Malcolm Gladwell.

Microsoft releases RSS in CRM? Yeah, cool. (That's on Satya Nadella's blog. He's corporate VP on the Dynamics team and they are announcing a bunch of stuff over the next week. He's also on Channel 9, along with a bunch of other Dynamics team members). I love the name of the "Freaky Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Blog."
