Welcome to Google Checkout™ -- a new service that makes online shopping faster, more convenient and more secure.
WinFx (breath taking object oriented API) is the next version of our famous developer framework. It builds on and extends the .Net Framework. Don't get scared - it will contain all of the existing framework 2.0 components and other powerful innovative technologies.
WinFx has been growing for a while now within the Microsoft dome, probably 10 or more years (Year 1993 & Win95) but hey we didn't care or know about it until .Net Framework and even if we did, it wasn't anything to pay too much attention to.

There is a new Ajax toolkit in town with support for .Net and Dojo - pure C#. It looks promising so far but I wouldn't use it in any production environment as of yet as I have already experienced some bugs - its still in v0.1, you shouldn't be expecting a complete wrap but try it out. http://www.emergetk.com/emergetk

Upgrading was so easy, I almost cried after I saw this blog up and running in less than a minute. It might take you longer if you have some custom stuff going on. I had some code highlighting and other add-ons that I lost but it should be a piece of cake adding it back on.
The development team provided upgrading instructions here, here is my version - its all the same but with some extra safety rules and screen shots.
Download the compiled version here.
