Key Note

Bob Muglia, Senior Vice President of the Server and Tools Business (STB) gave the key note address along with other speakers who presented demos on the some of the new technologies that will be released this year.

All the keynote itself was somewhat dull there were some pretty interesting announcements that were made.

• Windows Server 2008 (code names "Longhorn") will be released on time in the second half of 2007.
• Visual Studio 2008 (code named "Orcas") will be released by the end of this year also. Scott Gunthry did not want to specify but he believed before Labor Day.
