Silverlight, ASP.Net Ajax, LINQ, Astoria, ASP.Net MVC – there’s just tons of stuff coming out of Microsoft. And that’s not to mention the stuff people have seemingly forgotten about – ASP.Net Futures with IronPython (AWOL), Patterns and Practices Web Client Software Factory, WPF, WF, WCF and CardSpaces. Now the trend seems to be functional programming languages, especially with F#.

There’s just a bit too much for me.

What I really need is guidance. My customers don’t ask me what to they should use in 6 months; they ask me how to use what already exists. They don’t want “cool”; they want stability and consistency. And while the ball keeps moving, we can’t grab it.
