Microsoft Speech Server Book
I'm very excited today as my MSS book was listed on Amazon. Now, I just need to finish it! I'll include more details as to what it is all going to include in it as it gets closer to the release date.
I also got my christmas present from Magenic today as well. Magenic gave every one Zunes this year. These are pretty cool, they have a ton of potential. Hopefully, Microsoft releases an SDK so that you can create some software for it. I heard they might and I've also heard that they won't. It would be stupid not to, releasing an SDK allowing people create thier software for using Visual Studio Express would blow IPod out of the water, until then I think Zunes are second to IPods as they have been around longer and Zune really didn't introduce anything really different than IPod.
