For the moment, WinHEC 2008 seems to have the leg up with more interesting Windows 7 content than PDC. However I’m sure both will balance out closer to the event when all the sessions have been finalized. Unfortunately for me, I can’t attend any of them due to exams *sigh*.
Nice! …but I think you forgot to close a highlight tag… 🙂
DirectX: Core Graphics for Windows 7 & Working with the Windows 7 Graphics Architecture – nice nice nice – finally we will (really?) get decent graphics natively for applications?!
I feel your pain. For I cannot go due to an edumacation as well.
At least it will be online for free. So no worries about not going to PDC.
Long you have find a Sponsor for going to PDC?
@dovella: I can’t go because I have exams.
@long: man, you just have to add to your article that you have exams and can’t therefore go there… oh duh – it already stands there 😉
