The Next Small Thing. . .

Update: Our talks are on Friday and Saturday (not Thursday... oops!).

We at Microsoft believe in developers and are keenly aware that quite a large portion of the innovations that happen in our industry start out in someone's bedroom, garage or small office.  Part of my job is to reach out to the so-called MicroISV and help them be successful.

As part of our next major effort in this direction, I'm off starting Wednesday to the Shareware Industry Conference (http://www.sic.org) where we, Microsoft, are co-sponsors.  Dan Fernandez , Jed Rose and I are going to talk about our new Shareware Starter Kit for Visual Studio 2005 (SSK) for C# and VB, as well as our Code 'n my way to the PDC contest.

All the attendees at SIC will receive a free VS2005 Beta 2 DVD, a copy on CD of the SSK and three lucky winners will win Microsoft-provided prizes on Friday's exhibit night.  We've donated 2 Creative Zen Micros and 1 Zen Portable Media Center.

If you're going to SIC please look me up, I'll be talking on FRIDAY 10:15 and SATURDAY 3:30, at the Microsoft booth on Friday night and at the awards dinner on Saturday.
