Hi,

For those of you unfamiliar with the PDC, it is a big conference organised by 
Microsoft at which developers get an insight into the upcoming technologies 
from Microsoft.  It's not so much about marketing, but how you, as a developer, 
can use these new technologies yourself, and the sessions often contain 
examples and demonstrations.

At the 2005 PDC there were various tracks, including: 'tools and languages', 
'presentation', 'communication', and 'office'.  As you'd expect, there's plenty 
of information on Windows Vista, as well as information on Visual Studio 2005, 
SQL Server 2005 and Office 12.  There's even a session given by Thomas Logan of 
the Accessible Technology Group at Microsoft on User Interface Automation, 
which you can find in the Fundamentals track.

Microsoft have made videos of the sessions publically available until some time 
in April.  The files are around 150Mb to download, or you can view them as 
streaming media over the web.  To start watching the sessions and working out 
what changes are in store in the world of development, go to:
