Windows SDK RTM is live!

  • Artikel

Whoo hoo! The Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 is now live and ready for your download in either ISO or Web Setup format. There's scads and scads of new content in this release - content that my colleague Barry has listed in his post to the Windows SDK Team Blog.

The most important thing we can ask from you is for you to send us feedback your experience with the SDK. There are a number of ways to send us feeback, including posting comments to SDK blogs in addition to the other methods listed on our Release Notes page. We really sincerely want to know what you think of your SDK experience. All feedback will be considered, and all of it will help us as we roll into our planning for the next SDK releases. If you have some time, jot down some notes and send them to us.

  • How was your setup experience? Did it run smoothly? Did it take a reasonable amount of time? Did the selections offered to you make sense?
  • Once the SDK was installed, was it easy to find what you needed? Were there any unexpected items or issues?
  • If you build samples, what was your sample building experience like?
  • If you use SDK-delivered tools, did they act as expected and provide a helpful, useful experience?
  • If you use Windows Headers and Libraries, were you able to use them as you had hoped without unexpected errors or confusion?
  • If you use the documentation, does the organization of content make sense, and do the pages in the SDK give you what you want?

We really want to know how you're doing so we can present a better SDK in the future.

One other note: This release was very much a team effort. Many SDK team members went above and beyond the stadard call of duty to ensure that this was a great release. Members of the Dev, Test and Program Management teams pulled together to ensure that we would release a great product. But I want to make a point of publicly praising the superhuman efforts of our Release Program Manager, Barry Butterklee, in posting this SDK live. He had lots of late-breaking issues that prevented this release from running as smoothly as anyone would have liked. But Barry was persistent and diligent, and he pushed through all the problems presented him. He really did exemplary work on this release, and he deserves lots of praise. Great work, Barry!
