.NET Framework 3.0 (WinFX) RTM

As the final runup to Vista RTM continues, Microsoft has announced at the .NET Framework 3.0 (formerly WinFX) has RTMed and is available on Microsoft Downloads. This is a significant milestone for the Developer Division, and delivers on some of the promise of Windows Vista programmability on earlier platforms.

CTP Extensions for WCF/WPF?  CTP?  So close, yet so far...I'm over the CTP craze.  I'm also still baffled as to how MS can call this a 3.0 release...it's more like 2.5, but whatever...at least the f'ing thing has finally shipped (albeit lacking some of the original promised goodies).
