Back in February of this year, I posted on the maturation of smart client development artifacts from Microsoft. What I called “SC-BAT” then is now the recently released Smart Client Software Factory on MSDN (i.e. SC-SF since 5/1 apparently). I look forward to upgrading my GAX and GAT to the Jun-06 CTP’s and upgrading to the new SC-SF, too–per getting started.

Aside: It’s interesting for me to observe the morphing of “Baseline Architecture Toolkit” into “Software Factory” given my time spent on Software Factories as a reviewer of the book by that name.

Update: I see that Sam Gentile thinks highly of the new release, too.
