simple question: what's the hottest community for programmers domestic?

I got one simple question:

What's the "hottest" programmers' community in China?

Couple of options:
1. MSDN China
2. CSDN
3. cnblogs
4. dev.yesky...
or none of above?

Simple standard for benchmarking "hottest", geeks be there pretty often, programmers with 5+ years visit & participate a lot.

SQL Server expanding, start your journey now!

I'd like start the publishing on what MSFT R&D is reported outside, quoted from "Shanghai Daily" on 2007-6-20.

"The expanded center, located in the Zizhu Industrial Park in southwest Shanghai, is expected to open by the end of next year and will cover about 100,000 square meters. "

Forward this information to your friends!

Maiden voyage with Microsoft

Today is my first day with Microsfot, Asia Technology Center, as a staffing consultant.
Despite of have to stand paked like sardines, this is a terrible which I have not experienced for 2 years +, :(
the shuttle is fast and arrived earlier than expected.

Takes around 40 mins from Xujiahui to Zizhu park, the return is even faster, like 35 mins.
Hope one day their will be a pick up point at Zhongshan park.

I was guided to my new cubic, received 19 inch Dell LCD, whilte color, cute.
Got my first number: 3.198. Where is Freedo? He's sitting at 3.198. That's my first number got in MSFT. Don't know what will be the latters looks like?
Still waiting for my laptop.

Spoon-feed plenty staffs including some essential documents, got pretty much to read today.
And hopefully first document received is "Microsoft's 2007 annual holiday arrangements". Cooool...

Other than lots of funny things with Microsoft, I'm gotta take a place to post thoughts of technical recruiting and new hiring messages, needs to check out if could got a MSDN space with Chinese character supports.

See ya...
