Martin Granell has just announced that he is back blogging. He has been crazy busy for quite a few months. Its going to be good because I’d love to throw around some ideas on what application development will look like in a Windows Vista and WinFX timeframe, especially from a strategy and architecture point of view.

Mind you – from that you might think Martin is one of those boring ivory tower architects. Thats simply not the case, Martin is one of the smartest people I know and I am lucky to share a domain name with him (@readify.net). As proof that he has got the goods, I point to one of his most recent posts on a trick he is using to optimise start-up in Windows XP.

Beware: Discussion of IO contention and global Mutex’s follows . . .
