While the PDC (Professional Developers Conference) “officically” starts tomorrow however it actually began last night and today there are many things happening. You can get information at http://www.microsoftpdc.com/ and follow along with the conference as it develops.
After reading some of the notes I see that there are going to be 7 bloggers that have been invited to participate in an “All Star Blogging” event and they are: Ed Bott, Mary Jo Foley, Kip Kniskern, Rafael Rivera, Paul Thurrott, Tom Warren, and Long Zheng. The article says that this “will include the latest on Windows Strata Cloud Computing, Live Mesh and of course Windows 7”.
My only wish (at the moment) is that I were there to witness the conference. A great deal of it may be over my head however you do not learn by not stretching. I try to tell that to all in my classes. If you do not know if something will work with your software, back it up and then try it. You only have experience to gain and good or bad it will lead to learning. Some of the best experience I have had was from some of the great mistakes I have made, unfortunately I cannot seem to impart that wisdom to others.
Yes I am looking forward to what comes out of this PDC and I am seriously hoping that I will not be let down as I am expecting big things. My friends are somewhat concerned that I have suddenly become a Microsoft supporter because of my background (early Netscape user – read Beta) but I see them going places that we need to experience. I don’t care if Google is pushing them or they are driving Google, in either case we win.
I have to admit though that I have been a Microsoft Word user since around 1983 and stayed with them through the Word Perfect attack – and MS Word won that one also. I just wish sometimes that they were a bit more flamboyant and exciting in their approach.
