The best part of MIX for me is that it is really an open, multi-way dialog and not just a bunch of Microsoft speak. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

In this panel, you will learn from experts at each of these companies about the different ways that Web analytics services collect data about web usage behavior and allow businesses to measure how web sites perform against business goals. Each panelist will discuss how to incorporate their company's web analytics services into Silverlight applications and then take advantage of the separation between the design in XAML and code in JavaScript to do effective A/B testing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
