Respectfully, that's nonsense. I don't even work in their department. I've been online for 20+ years, blogging for like 12 years and I've worked at MS for 6.

The blog is a blog. This post is just a post. I get in trouble for blogging a few times a year, and that suits me just fine. It's just a job.

Wow, Mr Hanselman himself.

I'm a big fan - listen to all episodes of your podcast. Just watched a few presentations from this year Build. You should really give other MS employees a course on public speaking - they are sooo slow and boring compared to you ;-)

He's got a course on public speaking available on TekPub.

OT, but do you think you could point me in the direction of whoever's responsible for WPL/AntiXSS? It's been broken for ages [1] [2]. There seem to be no reliable HTML sanitization library for .NET right now. It looks like the best I could do is to copy and paste a bunch of code and hope that it works [3].

Let me ask around. It's handled by a group that isn't ASP.NET.

OT, but on the .NET Framework versioning, the support lifecycle of 2.0/3.0/3.5 is a mess that needs to be cleaned up:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696944

The lifecycle policy of 3.5 SP1 should also be applied to 3.0 SP2 and 2.0 SP2, for example.

Thanks for the feedback Yuhong. As you correctly pointed out .NET 2.0 SP2 and .NET 3.0 SP2 are sub-components of .NET 3.5 SP1 so it makes sense to have these on the same lifecycle. The good news is that this is already the case, the Knowledge Base Article 2696944 clarifies that when .NET 3.5 SP1 is installed the same lifecycle will apply to .NET 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 too.

This is the relevant snippet from that KB article -

...snip...

However, Microsoft will provide support for the .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 components for customers who install the .NET Framework 3.5 for as long as the .NET Framework 3.5 remains in support.

Thanks, Jamshed Program Manager, .NET Framework Fundamentals team

But why 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 has a different lifecycle if 3.5 SP1 is installed vs if it is not installed?

Thanks, I've sent this note to the Lifecycle guy and I'll get you a response.
