No PDC 07 - What's the mystery?
I attended Microsoft's Professional Developer's Conference (PDC) in 05 in Los Angeles and had been hoping to go again this October. But, yesterday Microsoft cancelled the event. If you're not familiar with the event, the PDC is the Microsoft developer event that focuses on what's coming a couple of years down the road as opposed to TechEd that focuses on tools and products that you have in your hands today or are close to release.
In talking about the PDC being cancelled, both Scoble and Mary Jo Foley say one reason is because the Windows team has nothing to show. And, in fact, has become very quiet about future Windows plans.
Steve Sinofsky, who runs the Windows team, used to run Office, a group known to keep quiet about future plans. Why should we be surprised that he runs Windows the same way?
