Get Windows 7 at PDC and WinHEC

While this blog is committed to bringing you the latest info on Windows Vista, I wanted to take a moment to take a look at what everyone's been talking about today: PDC, WinHEC and Windows 7.

The Professional Developer Conference (PDC) , taking place in Los Angeles Oct. 27th - 30th, is an event designed for leading-edge developers and software architects that are interested in the future of the Microsoft platform. If you're responsible for the technical strategy in your organization, or you're a highly skilled developer who likes to delve deep into the heart of the platform, then PDC is for you! You can register today for PDC by heading over to http://www.microsoftpdc.com/. Hurry, spots are filling fast!

The Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), taking place in Los Angeles Nov. 5th - 7th, focuses on designing PCs, servers, and devices that run and interface with Microsoft Windows with a focus on Windows 7. WinHEC brings together engineers, developers and testers, and product planners giving them a opportunity to stay aligned with Microsoft technology roadmaps and new product opportunities. To register for WinHEC - click here (register before Oct. 3rd and save $400!).

At each event you will hear from lead Windows Engineers including Steven Sinofsky, as well as see firsthand the next Windows OS. Just announced today - at both shows we will handing out a pre-beta build of Windows 7. By attending these events, you will be one of a select few to receive a pre-beta build of Windows 7 to take with you. If that's not incentive to head to these events, I don't know what is ;-)

    I can't wait to see how much progress Microsoft has been making in improving on its Vista code. In the meanwhile, oh man am I loving my new MacBook Pro. Hurry up, Microsoft or you'll lose me to Apple land completely.

    I wonder if MS will include DX11 with it and redeem itself for messing up PC gaming with DX10 (mind you, we all know they'd like to have people playing on their Xbox360s rather than PCs... even if gaming is one of windows main advantage against OSX!)

    @Superpotato - Microsoft has been pretty constant about DX11 coming to Vista and Windows 7.

    @Yert

    Considering that the next Xbox is not coming till 2012 and that Microsoft seems be quite happy to kill off PC gaming (or at least not do a darn thing about it), I doubt that it will do anything to give PCs an advantage over it's current Xbox360.

    So, number 1: I hope they'll actually include DX11 it with Windows 7 and number 2: I'm praying it doesn't become and anti-feature like DX10.

    Few features are more contentious in Windows Vista than the User Account Control. When Vista-bashers catalog their complaints about Microsoft's news operating system, it's at the top of their lists. The UAC pops up warnings when certain actions occur
