PDC: Show me the Bits

I was just looking over the material we have on the public website about the PDC: http://msdn.microsoft.com/events/pdc/ .  One thing I don’t think it does justice to it just what bits PDC attendees will walk away with.  If you are like me you will not believe it to you see it in the bits.  So I wanted to give you our current plans (always subject to change) on what bits will be giving to everyone that attends the PDC.

 

  1. Longhorn!  You have seen screen shots from leaked versions, now get your own copy!  Not only will you get to see *some* of the new look and feel stuff we are doing, but you will also get and SDK and tools support for programming to the huge new managed APIs that longhorn offers.  (more on that in a later post).
  2. Whidbey .NET Framework and VS Whidbey – See the work we have done in the platform AND the tools that target that platform. 
  3. Yukon – For you data heads, you will love this… Stored procs written in C#\VB, way cool.

 

Oh and, BTW, be sure to bring a DVD drive to the event!

Any plans about posting (at least some of) these bits on MSDN Universal download? Maybe for those MSDN Universal subscribers who ask for this (reasonable additional payment for this is no problem). Please, please, pretty please... Not everyone can be in LA... thanks.

Screens of Longhorn? I would hope there is more for the amount of money? I can say developer preview :) Alsa What About 64 bit computing???

Jack - as always, we are looking hard at what we can get out to MSDN Universal subscribers, but I can't tell you right now what will be there and what will not. Jimmy - Yup, you will get more than screenshots for LH, you will get real bits. Oh, yes, I missed the 64 bit world.... I think you will be happy with the 64 bit story... Most of the bits described above will be there in 64bit flavor...

I hope so! Cause its so hard to Run Windows XP 2003 with no 64 bit drivers, unless i want to try and write my own!

Why? Win2k is NT, XP is Win2k, Longhorn is XP. whats the difference? btw, who is using .NET? It only runs on Windows. and who develops on Windows? only people who fall for the "trustworthy" computer platform. You hear that? oh, no. sounds like Microsoft.com just got DOS'd.
