Orcas Beta 1 has shipped!
I know that Microsoft Silverlight is currently taking all the lime light, and that this is still only Beta 1 of Orcas. Yet, I'm sure there are some of you out there just itching to get started on Orcas. So, download it! MSDN Subscribers can download the bits - others currently only have access to VPC images (which might just be a better option for a Beta 1 product).
