There were a couple of interesting releases last week:

MSN Spaces:http://spaces.msn.comMSN® 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.aspxIntegrates 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.
