WCF - for VS 2005 resources

For us mere mortals who are not running the bleeding edge software...

For all the rest of the world which is not running Vista here is what you need to get going with WCF on your XP/2003 box:

1. Visual Studio 2005
2. Windows SDK aka Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit for Windows Vista™ and .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components (you will need the SvcUtil that is buried there)
3. 3.0 Fx
4. IDesign tons of examples from Juval
5. Michele's (That Indigo Girl) blog
6. How to control namespaces from Kirill
7. All you wanted to know about <system.serviceModel> config settings on MSDN
8. Java interoperability
1. Project Tango
2. Custom SOAP Headers: WCF and Java - from NathanA's blog
9. WCF (and WPF) extensions Nov 2006 CTP (Not sure how current this is)
10. Guidance Automation Packages
11. WCF Service Factory (amongst others)

I'll Keep adding as I discover more. I just can't find the intellisense schema files that would be useful when playing around with the .config file and <system.serviceMode> config settings. One can use the ServiceConfig utility from the SDK.

{UPDATE} When WinSDK is installed the intellisense schemash for WCF config files show up.
