ASP.NET 2.0 and the blog influence

Never before have I come across such a phenomenon, wherein there seems to be more work or proof of concepts being done in ASP.NET 2.0 than in ASP.NET 1.x

It looks like the Microsoft's entire .NET team is now being driven by the bloggers. Now a days it needs to be specified the version of the .NET to google for technical articles. More articles come up with .NET 2.0 than for .NET 1.x

I slowly get the feeling of how an open source programmer feels when he knows about something internal happening in the produce he is using. Now a days there is so much more information about the intrinsics of .NET than before. Great going and I feel sad that I have yet to sail the .NET 2.0 wave although I've been continously having sun bath in the beaches of Whidbey!
