DNR in Toronto

Today I witnessed the launch of Windows Vista™, the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

There were half a dozen sessions divided into three categories which included the following:

  • Business and government sessions
  • IT professional sessions
  • Developer sessions

I mainly attended the Developer sessions and one IT professional session.  The session that I was awed by was the Windows Workflow and its family of classes such as the Presentation Foundation, Communication Foundation and such.  These API's are now a part of the .Net 3.0 Stack in Vista and Windows Server.  Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 support them as well.

There were quite a few swags to be won.  The highlight of the show was the DNR team. Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell flew in to be amongst us.  In fact, I met them last night at the Beer Market at the Esplanade and then again today. 

Below, is a link to the picture, that I had with them along with John Bristowe.  Carl is holding a placard titled "Obi Rocks".  Man, was it fun or what!!!
