Another quiet Tuesday in my corner of the Net.

Software

nLite - Tool for customizing Windows install CDs to include drivers or omit components. No doubt a big fat license violation, but looks useful. (via Jeff Key)
Resco Explorer 2005 - Souped-up file explorer for PocketPC with encryption, compression, network browser, viewer, and other goodies built in.
FileMaker 8 - New release of one of the databases that Windows devs don't think about so much. Features include Windows/Mac compatability, PDF export, and Web publishing. Free trial, pricing from $299.
WinFS Beta 1 now available to MSDN subscribers! - Cairo will never die. The question is, will it ever ship?

Information

VB 9.0 and beyond: Tea leaves from PDC agenda - SearchVB.com publishes another of my editorials.
SSW Introduction to The Best 3rd Party Tools - Adam Cogan and the other folks over at SSW have done their own list of best tools for software developers. They're a Microsoft-centric shop, but these are mostly the things that plug the holes in Microsoft's product lineup.
CodeFetch - Search engine for sample code from books. Looks heavily weighted towards open source (PHP, Perl) at the moment. (via Gadgetopia)
