Problem browsing downloaded CHM help files
When opening downloaded CHM help files, you might get the error messages "The page cannot be displayed" or "Action Cancelled" in the right pane of the help browser.
For me, unblocking the downloaded file solves the problem:

A couple of other options (especially for UNC paths) are discussed in this thread: Google Groups Windows

Releases, releases, releases: WSE 2.0 SP2, MSN Messenger 7.0, MSN Spaces and SQL Server 2005/Yukon CTP December
There were a couple of interesting releases last week:
WSE 2.0 SP2: The update can be downloaded here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/wse/default.aspx The new Hands-on-labs now also include a VB.NET version.
MSN Spaces: http://spaces.msn.com MSN® Spaces is more than an ordinary personal Web site; it’s an easy-to-use service that is more like a dynamic online scrapbook, giving people a place to create and update a Web log, or blog, and share their photos, music playlists and more, all while better connecting them with friends, family or the online world.
MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta: http://messenger.msn.com/Beta/Default.aspx Integrates with MSN Spaces to show contact's recent blogs.
SQL Server 2005/Yukon CTP December: Available for MSDN subscribers and Beta testers via Betaplace. You can use the old Whidbey version from MSDN and just reinstall the .NET Framework that comes with the new build.

Codenames, Technologies and Waves: Which technology ships when?
I've heard a couple of times that people - especially who have not been to the PDC - are a bit confused about all the new codenames and the technologies behind them. While it seems easy to google for more information about each it is also important to know which technology wave they belong to.
The first upcoming technology wave is made up of Yukon, the next version of SQL Server and Whidbey, the 2.0 version of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio (currently the version number is still 1.2 which is expected to be changed prior to the release). They are supposed to ship simultaneously in late 2004 (I think that's what I've heard at PDC - correct me if I'm wrong).
The second one is the "Longhorn wave", where Longhorn is the codename for the next version of the Windows operating system. The .NET FX is then included in the OS and the whole set of APIs is called WinFX. According to the Microsoft Developer Roadmap a new version of Visual Studio, code-named Orcas will be released at the same time (Currently, you can use the Whidbey version to develop Longhorn applications). A server version of Windows called "Longhorn Server" is expected to be shipped shortly after the client.
Yukon/Whidbey wave:
- ClickOnce (no-touch deployment)
- MSBuild (new build system)
- ObjectSpaces (O/R mapper)
- Whitehorse
- parts of System.Transactions (according to Don Box's session at the PDC)
Longhorn/WinFX/Orcas wave:
- Avalon (new graphic subsystem)
- WinFS (new storage system)
- Indigo (communication, good FAQ here, perhaps separately before Longhorn for WS2003 and WINXP)
- Monad (command shell)
- SuperFetch
- NGSCB
