You may have heard, readers, that Microsoft after successfully releasing Windows 7 Client and Windows Server 2008 R2 was seriously thinking about skipping its traditional Professional Developers Conference this year. But they decided to hold it anyway after all on October 28 and 29 in Redmond. There will be changes to the conference format developers all over the world got used to which include roughly only a thousand of visiting developers compared to at least a couple of thousands and, to balance it out, Microsoft will provide live streaming of the PDC10. Still, contents of the PDC10 is what we are more interested in.Sadly, we are not in any major announcement on Windows 8. Thanks to Windows 7 success Microsoft should and probably will take their sweet time thinking in and out through their next operating system iteration. More realistically is to wait by the time of the conference for SP1 for the Seven, which, as we know, is already in development.
What we do expect to hear at PDC10 is news about Cloud Services, Xbox 360 console gaming and services, Windows Phone 7 platform and Internet Explorer 9. IE 9 is closing to its development milestone at the moment and is expected to go beta by PDC10. We’ll see, I guess.
