• Aspen Graphics – small Colorado company specializing in trading software moves to Silverlight
• Last week I was working on a white paper on the Quant Finance Industry and was scrambling to come up with a good section on Portfolio Attribution.  I was surprised to find ClariFI has some nice portfolio attribution functionality built in.
• Team Foundation Studio 2010 introduces User Stories as a basic work item in the Microsoft Agile 5.0 template!  Now, the pressure is on development teams to start from the scenarios and really work their way down to the individual features.  This page has a very literal, screen first, approach to the user story.

• After catching up with some colleagues who returned from WPC in Washington, D.C. last week, the story remains: Azure, WP7, Dallas, OData.  I was surprised there wasn’t more on the SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse or Stream Insight.
