Welcome to the NEW Interesting Downloads for Week Ending – 1-22-2010…

***Updated 2:31pm on 1/27/2010*** (Fixed Hyperlinks in all lines below)

 

For quite a while now, you have seen my posts on “Interesting Downloads”. When I first started posting those, I thought, “Everyone will love this! a weekly list of cool stuff from Microsoft the covers everything for gaming, developers, IT Pros, consumers….everyone!”. In fact, I did receive several emails over time stating that people really like seeing all the information in one spot. But as I prepped to jump feet first back into the blogging pool, I went back and read through some of  my older posts. Every time I hit one of the “Interesting Downloads” posts, I ended up skipping over it. There was TOO much information in those posts and the formatting did not work well for a blog. Also, imagine trying to read through one of those posts on a mobile device. Ack!

So I have decided to trim that post down substantially and organize it just a little better. Let me know what you think!
