Hello Windows Vista Developers:

My name is Laurie Moloney, and I am the site manager for the Windows Vista Developer Center on MSDN. As a journalist, editor, and online publisher for Microsoft’s developer tools and platforms, I've watched the developer space for many years. To get an idea how long it’s been do you remember when you first had to learn about object-oriented programming? I do. In today’s world of managed code, gadgets, and Aero it seems so long ago.

You may have noticed over the last year or so that the Windows Vista Developer Center has gone through several different design changes. We have been working hard to make the site work for you. The dev center was the pilot site to test the new MSDN user experience. Based on this real-time testing, we created an entirely new look for the MSDN network. In May we moved from the familiar blue UX with the navigation on the side to the orange tabs at the top of the page.

Now I need your help. What content would you like to see on the Windows Vista Developer Center? What kind of Vista development do you do—managed or native? And what Vista features would you like to see more information on? I'm always amazed by the smart, creative people who develop applications and how generous they are with their knowledge and insights. Tell me how I can help you do your job more easily.

Thanks!
Laurie
