You can schedule builds in Orcas

Buck Hodges

When we posted the Orcas Team Build Continuous Integration Spec, you may have noticed that there was no support for scheduling builds.  We implemented build scheduling as a Design Change Request (DCR).  That meant that we had to present a justification for the feature, a spec, and how long it would take to implement and test.  By the...

How many people do we have working on Orcas?

Buck Hodges

Lorenzo Barbieri, an MVP, pointed out the Orcas splash screen spec that's been posted.  I'm guessing that's one of those things that leads to people believing we have an infinite supply of people to develop products, leading to comments like, "I can't believe you still can't do X!"  X is everything from viewing labels in history ...

Extending the Windows Vista grace period to 120 days

Buck Hodges

Extending The Windows ...
