We've been busy the last few months helping to launch Vista and Office 2007, maybe you've joined me at one of my sessions around the country. I have to admit that it's been a bit of a blur. I've been on the road every week since Christmas it seems, speaking at user groups, launch events, and other functions about what is compelling about these new platforms. Now it's time to shift gears and start thinking about what's next.

In the next series of events (see MSDN Events for schedule & registration) we're going to be talking about AJAX and CardSpace. The first is the web enabling technology that helps developers be able to deliver some very cool interactive experience, and the second is all about secure identity management. These techniques and technologies are going to help save time and make it much easier to built secure systems that are easier to use.

Hope to see you there. In the meantime, I'm looking at doing a series of webcasts on SharePoint for the Developer. I'll add details about them once we have the schedule finalized.

Enjoy!
