Hello HillBilly,

...where can I download .NET 4 beta bits so I can install the
Expression Blend 4 beta products?

Honestly.... unless you're really in a hurry, I'd wait 6 days ad the RTM
version will be out

April 12th = VStudio 2010 and .Net framework 4.0 RTM

I am impatient and six days is an eternity I found the DNF 4 RC and just
installed it.

But get this, now the xBlend 4 beta won't open the WP7 lab sln files so this
is getting crazy. An associate wonders how FUBAR the actual release is going
to be as we both agree Ballmer has f*cked the company up so bad since Bill
left being so so so far behind in critical markets they are clearly rushing
everything out the door now at the last minute.

Steve Jobs is not long for this world due to incureable pancreatic cancer
(sadly) but he's going to die with a smile on his face.

I agree with Rory, but in case you just cannot wait:

Thanks fellas. I did find a .NET 4 install which is the only part that was
obstructing installing Expression Blend 4 apps which are most likely to drag
behind by months as they have been doing with this category of the
development tools.
