It is the night before the BIG announcements everyone is now eagerly anticipating. Speculations are running amok among the delegates here @ Build Windows. Fans are ready to cheer and competitors are dreading. Anticipation is a powerful tool and I trust you Microsoft not to let us down! At this point it is useless to rehash a lot of speculations since I don’t know. All of the softies are claiming equal levels of ignorance (and as usual if they did know they could not tell). This last bit is just a fancier way of saying “I’m not in the loop!”
Only one thing – semi-unrelated to the actual announcements will I dare to hope for and that is that Mary Jo Foley is right: Microsoft shows off quad-core Windows slate. Could this be its Build give-away?
I will be here in Anaheim and will bring you the latest and greatest news and/or analysis from the event. Since the schedule is packed and we will have a LOT to do over here I’m not making any promises on my delivery rate save a letter of intent: I will do my best to bring you the best from the event as it happens!
Naturally you too can follow this live at http://www.buildwindows.com/ or attend local Build Windows Key notes like the one Diversify is hosting as a .NET Community event in Malmo, Sweden: Swenug Skånde Build Key note event.
You should follow this blog and a lot of other resources (outlined some of them below) if you want to keep up with the flow!
Cheers,
Magnus
