&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;The 2008 Office Developer Conference promises to be a ground-breaking event as it's the first time it will be open to the public. The conference promises to be especially exciting as we are riding the momentum of the 2007 Microsoft® Office system launch, and there is tremendous interest in our Office Business Applications (OBA) strategy. Even BillG will be there, delivering a special keynote presentation!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.odc2008.com/"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri color=#0000ff size=3&gt;www.odc2008.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
