Ayman and I are heading off to Barcelona next week for TechEd.  I'm delivering session DEV320 on Thursday, November 9th, at 1:30 PM, where I'll be talking about the upcoming VC++ Orcas release and the VC++ product roadmap.  Ayman is delivering session DEV407 on Friday, November 10th, at 9:00 AM, on optimizations and performance in VC++ 2005.  One or both of us will also be hanging out at the Visual Studio booth most of Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please drop by to say hi if you're in the neighborhood.

Ayman and I will also be running a VC++ 2005 porting lab for ISVs on November 13th and 14th at the Aragón Microsoft Technology Center.  If you're an ISV that is interested in attending, just let me know.
