MSAM Visual Studio 2008 Launch Events have been scheduled for Orlando,
Tampa, and Ft. Lauderdale. These promises to be some fun filled days
of about 2000 folks each. Russ,
Jeff, and myself will be doing
Visual Studio 2008 sessions at each location. As is our tradition in Florida, we'll be teaming
up with some local Microsoft MVPs to help us with the demos. The MVP list is still being
ironed out, but I'll update this post once we've ironed the scheduling out.
The dates and other URLs are listed below. Yes, I know the Tampa date
( June 9 )
is the day before TechEd in Orlando. No, I can't do anything about
it. But you can. Let them hear the wisdom of this decision in the evals.
Have fun.
