I am still amazed at the relatively lame content given to us for the Start Page Feeds in Visual Studio. While some of this content is actually relevant, it is updated very slowly in most cases, I don't know what was with mine, but one feed in General development had 4 updates this year, the top of the list was offering a download for Beta 2...
Get tired of seeing the same stuff? Want to see something that might be more useful?
You can stick any RSS Feed you want in there, I think many people might not even realize this. In VS Menu Select Tools/Options/Environment/Startup and replace the Start Page news channel. If you don't see Environment, check "Show All Settings"
I haven't plugged this feed in a while... If you are a VB Developer you may want to put in this feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/vbfeeds Serge Baranovsky does a great job of making this feed relevant for getting all your VB Blog News in one feed. This includes the VB Team and most of the VB MVPs. With all the stuff Bill McCarthy is finding for VS08 this feed may really help if you do look at it when VS starts.
For more General Development try this feed: http://jasonhaley.com/blog/Rss.aspx
Jason always finds some really interesting stuff. But this is a link blog and doesn't give you much to go on in the feed except the link and title. (an excerpt would be nice)
