Microsoft…. When will we sleep???

A few weeks ago I wrote this blog about how my newly ordered book was out of date 2 months before it was to be published.

Another book I have been keeping my eye on has had to change its name because it can't get released before the next Microsoft release. The cover remains .NET 3.0 until Amazon can get a new image. Maybe it should be titled "Programming .NET N-Release".

Does anyone else out there remember when you went to work knowing what the latest release of a language was, and all the details of how to get the most out of it? I wonder how long it will be, or if there will ever be a time like that again?
