Links on Yukon

Recently, in the Tech-Ed held in Bangalore (India), there were some sessions on Yukon and I was asked to collect a set of public information on Yukon. The following is a compilation of the content that I published at Microsoft. This article is about all these links and when the public beta comes out, you can expect a barrage of articles on Yukon from me :-). Have fun!!
