Heading home from PDC

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

It’s been a whirlwind of a trip here in LA.  When I arrived I thought I’d be blogging, posting photos, and keeping in touch with the outside world the whole time.  Well, that didn’t quite work out.  There was always so much going on and so much to do, that the little downtime I had when I arrived back at my hotel was spent squeezing some of that “sleep” stuff into my schedule. In case you’re wondering which of the features unveiled at PDC is “my baby,” that would be the OpenSearch-based search federation feature in the Windows Explorer, detailed in the Find & Organize session which you can watch here . We also have a Channel 9 video covering the new Libraries feature and other user experience improvements in Explorer for Windows 7.  This video is part 1 of a two part series, the second of which covers the Search Federation feature (and yours truly). For now, the best place to learn more about OpenSearch in Windows 7 is to watch the session video at the link below

Countdown to PDC

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

PDC is only 26 days away!  While I don’t have a session of my own as I’d originally hoped, I will indeed be there.  The session representing my team’s platform work is already up on the PDC agenda .  You can find it by narrowing down to the sessions titled “Windows 7.” Windows 7: New APIs to Find, Visualize, and Organize The presenter is my good friend David Washington, who is my team’s platform and SDK PM.  The talk will cover a variety of really cool topics, including my feature area which we’ll be talking more about soon. If you’re going to be at PDC this year please leave a comment and share a bit about yourself and what you’re looking forward to seeing there.
