Thunderbird 2.0 Released
Fantastic, been waiting for it. Features I have been looking forward to are message tagging and saved searches. What I consider the essential add-ons (Enigmail, Lightning and SmoothWheel) already work with 2.0, so no pain for me there. The look and feel got an update too. The new theme is more refined...

Enterprise Library 3.0 Released
Most excellent. I have looked at Enterprise Library in the past, but never quite found a suitable project for it. 3.0 has just been released and the highlights (as covered by Tom Hollander) are Validation Application Block Policy Injection Application Block Application Block Software Factory Visual Studio...
