PDC 2007 Postponed
I am sitting here prior to TechEd 2007 at a Microsoft Regional Director meeting.
I got to chatting with a few folks about the decision to postpone the PDC until 2008 and the more I think about it the more I think they made the right decision.
Mix07 covered the latest and greatest of the web technologies.
TechEd will serve as the vehicle for many of the remaining IT and developer announcements.
Orcas should be out the door by the time PDC would hit.
Katmai should be well on the way out the door.
What long lead types of things would they cover? I would hate to go to a PDC and then have either:
a) them not talk about anything 12–18 months off
or
b) have them talk about stuff that is a ways out but not provide any bits.
Key theme for PDC has always been if you don’t provide bits you don’t get to speak.
I want that to continue and I want Microsoft to have relevant content and if that means delaying until 2008 then so be it…
