Hallo,
Although it might seem as if I was totally lost, the truth is that the last 1.5 years were more than productive and possibly the most exciting concerning research. I have been traveling around Europe, meeting people and sharing ideas, while at the same time trying to catch up with all the changes around us lately. Windows Vista, Visual Studio 2008, and Windows Server 2008 are the new games we all now have to spend days and nights to get used with and as platforms seem to change now in a frequency no much different than new car models appear, we sure need to become Heroes, to stay tuned!
While changes don't seem to be so dramatic at first sight, digging a bit dipper, you'll find out they really are. LINQ, XAML and many more for developers and ITs absolute pleasure which is Virtualization in Windows Server 2008 are only some of the exciting new features, while things behind the scenes also change rampantly.
In the future, we shall be discussing many of these new features in many articles. At the same time, many projects I started some time ago, are either finished or close to finish, new have started and of course, all are now adjusted to the new platforms and environment.
I've also spent a considerable amount of time designing some new sites and utilizing some interesting new initiatives such as Microsoft's new open source community Codeplex and MSDN Code Gallery that actually substitutes GotDotNet, using a platform much similar to that of Codeplex.
Some of my projects will be published in these sites, while the rest will be available through my new websites:

www.amadeuspage.net
Finally, I need to appologize for articles that wait to be finished for so long, but a can reassure you that the future is going to be far more exciting.
Regards,
