Whenever I install Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 and choose the C# profile, the ‘News’ portion of the start page defaults to ‘http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=45192&clcid=409‘.
I like the start page and like to reference it and like the content of the default MSDN C# news feed (there is a lot of good stuff there) provided, but the feed hasn’t been updated since March 2008.
Is there a more up to date MSDN C# News feed? This one is titled ‘MSDN: Visual C#’ and subtitled ‘The latest information for developers on Visual C#’ leading me to think it is the appropriate ‘official’ MS C# news feed. Or, is this just a dummy feed MS throws in and developers are expected to customize their VS start page with their preferred feeds? I don’t have a problem doing that – I just thought the one provided looked promising (if it was up to date).
I would just change the feed to whatever suits you, and whatever is most interesting to you. There are several sites that can combine several feeds into one, and that might also be a good option.
