Richard's first thoughts on TechEd Barcelona
It is a feeling of deja-vue, having been to the PDC last year the keynote was very similar; but that is what you would expect as PDC is an inspiring futures' event and TechEd, especially at this point in the release cycle is a 'its here now use it' event. On the more futures side the LINQ demo's are certainly slicker.
The notable item missing from the keynote was the announcement of RTM for Vista, hopefully it will be there before the IT Professional week of TechEd next week!
A final comment for now, is it me or are there a far wider range of countries represented? I feel I am seeing far less Union Jacks on delegate badges, but still mostly white and male
