Channel9 guy meets the sea-monkeys from Mars

Since I finally picked up a mobile phone with a camera I might as well bore you with the pictures I take.

The cover says it all.

Or does it...

Instead of writing my own reports on DevCon 5, I'm just going to point you to Rory's blog, since he's doing an excellent job in not only reporting on the talks, but on the facilities as well

Yet Another Community Technology Preview

Yesterday Microsoft released another CTP on MSDN Subscriber Downloads, this one specifically targets the associated SQL 2005 CTP.

This makes the 4th version of VS 2005 available for download:

• Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Architect Beta 1
• Visual Studio 2005 Community Technology Preview May 2004
• Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 Refresh with Visual Studio 2005 Team System
• Visual Studio 2005 for the SQL Server 2005 CTP

The version that no longer seems to be available is the PDC 2004 version which worked with that version on Windows Longhorn.

While I like the interval with which these CTPs are released, I really hope that by the time of the next beta, or CTP, it will be more clear which works with what, e.g. can I use the team system stuff with the current CTP of VS and SQL 2005.

I do think this version of VS2005 does support E&C for C#, but I'm not sure, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll be back at SellsCon from tomorrow till Friday, minus some flying time, after I arrived a little early (but in time for some mall food). I'm not sure if I will make it to the Nerd Dinner on Tuesday or opt for the free drinks.

Highlight should be hunting down bears with Rory Blyth Keiths security talk.

Updates have been made to improve the performance of Windows XP Service Pack 2 as a guest in Virtual PC, to improve the manage ability of virtual machines when used with SMS 2003 Service Pack 1, and to provide support for running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition as the host operating system.
