Livin' the life...

I've been asking for it for a while now and FINALLY ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 RTM has been Released! (Released yesterday I believe.)

However... wait, wait, before you go downloading and installing like crazy.. I suggest you do like I did and take a quick peek at the Ajax forums. Sad to say.. there seems to be some problems already.

I just was reading a post titled "Do not install this release" (encouraging name huh?) and in it the writer is complaining about some problems he has encountered while trying to migrate from the RC to the final release. As it turns out, the RTM actually seems to require an aspect that is not really available yet but instead will be disseminated in a WindowsUpdate... (Hopefully, it'll be in February's update cycle.)

Anyway, I'm no expert with respect to that, I'm merely following what was said and trying to comment a bit on it. For the full story however, I recommend you have a look at that post I mentioned above and also keep your eyes fixed on that forum for any more information/problems on this final release of AJAX.

PS. I'm seeing A LOT of posts since the final was released.. seems like a lot of apps/stuff that worked in the old versions is now broken when tried in the final. Hmm.. how... scary.
