This post is a bit disjointed, but maybe it will make some sense. About 18 months ago I cancelled my cable TV subscription. I was thoroughly fed up with paying significant amounts of money each month to watch commercials. It was a sort of double dipping -but turned upside down and inside out!

The Professional Developers Conference, PDC 2008 just opened for registration at http://www.microsoftpdc.com! If you wonder what the PDC conference is I can best describe it as the “precursor” to something big. This is not an annual conference, Microsoft only arranges it in preparation for a new technology launch. About every second year is what you can expect, and the theme is always different. Looking at the agenda, it is clear that Could Computing has a big role at the event. This is bound to be an exciting occasion for anyone loving developer technologies! Â You can even...
