ASP.Net MVC RC1

Few days back, ScottGu announced the shipment of ASP.Net MVC 's RC1. Check his blog post for more details.

And had couple of issues in installing it. One being uninstalling the ASP.Net MVC Beta. It didnt get removed immediately and stayed there for nearly an hour.

And the other was installing the new ASP.Net MVC RC1. The setup didnt respond for couple of times, so I installed it after few reboots. I also had some problem in the Virtual Server 2005 R2 & its KB948515. So after solving this with a re-boot, I brought ASP.Net MVC RC1 into my machine.

Let 2009 be a Bull Market

Hope this year be good for us and the share market. While we cant expect a V-shape rally though, but it can make sustainable gains.

Happy New Year 2009
