If you are planning on going to ESC West (April 1-5, San Jose, CA) there are a number of opportunities for you to come and talk to Microsoft and partners about embedded device development.

• You can book time on the Microsoft booth to have an "Ask the Experts" consultation - this will give you the chance to setup a 1:1 and discuss your project/issues.
• We have a Technical Seminar running at ESC West (April 4th, Center Room B2, 10:00am - 5:00pm) - sessions include:
• Windows XP Embedded Feature Pack 2007, Embedded Enabling Features and their advantages when building embedded devices
• Application Development for Windows Embedded Devices: Advantages of using Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Compact Framework
• Windows Embedded CE 6.0: What's new with the operating system and tools
• .NET Micro Framework, a closer look at Microsoft's smallest .NET offering
• We will also have hands on labs running on the booth - this gives you the opportunity to try out the CE 6.0 and XP Embedded development tools - we will of course have people available to answer questions.

So, there's plenty of ways for you to get information about Windows Embedded technologies from Microsoft, and Microsoft partners - more informaiton avaiable here.

See you at ESC West !
