Here are 2 bits of news that have yet to make the rounds at various tech sites but are on Neowin - Where news is SuperSized™ Enjoy!

Microsoft release build .NET server 3647
MS released a new build internally, so not to the official beta testers.

Vitrually every day the build lab turns out the next build which is automatically tested and given a RATI rating (the system used by QA/test. It is graded red/yellow/green. yellow means a few bugs - can be installed for test on internal machines. Red would be critical bugs, green - virtually no bugs.
The build numbers you see are truly indicative of the number of builds, with the build 3628 (whistler) being the 3628'th build of NT.... etc. (thanks to Keith for this info)

Microsoft to Add DynaZip Compression to XP
The next version of Windows XP (which I assume means Longhorn and not XP SP1) will replace the current Compressed Folders feature with the compression technology used by Inner Media DynaZip. "This agreement further validates DynaZip's high-performance, reliability and compatibility with the standard PKWare ZIP file format," said Inner Media's president Neil Rosenberg. And, as any XP user could tell you, the Compressed Folders feature isn't exactly a great performer, so I'm sure DynaZip's technology will be faster. Good news, Windows fans.
