Hmmm... Open Source recognizes VB... but Xbox 360 doesn't?

I know it's FREE... but still!!!!!!

I've been using a power toy from Microsoft called SyncToy v1.0 for Windows XP for some time now. It works great for syncronizing various file types between multiple machines. In one example I syncronize a projects folder across 5 machines (3 laptops and

If your looking for the redists, you can find *all* of them here . (Of course, they are in the SDK directory when you install VS... but just in case.) Marko asked me via IM if I knew where to find the redists. I told him to look in the SDK folder (was
