A smart developer stands on the shoulders of the giants that came before. Windows 7 is just around the corner.
As a platform, it boasts a number of differentiating features that you as a developer can exploit for no additional
charge. Come along to this demo-heavy exploration of the platform and the tools you need to make it shine. We’ll
also have copies of the Release Candidate version of Windows 7 to distribute.
