Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
Today I’m heading out to the Microsoft MIX conference in Las Vegas. The
expectation is that there will be lots of coverage of Rich Internet
Applications, software services, Silverlight, and more. With keynotes by people
such as Steve Ballmer and Scott Guthrie, there should be lots to talk about
as the week progresses. If you are going to be at MIX08, let me know what you
found interesting.
Until next week…
Brad!
