Topic: PDC09 Highlights and Silverlight 4 Fun

I just returned from PDC09, my first conference as a newly minted Microsoftie, and can't way to share all the cool things we announced. We'll hit the highlights and big announcements from PDC09, and then drill into some of the interesting things announced in the Silverlight, WPF and client dev spaces, with a focus on the new and exciting things in Silverlight 4 including webcam/mic support and COM automation.

Topic: Windows 7 House Party

Wondering what this Windows 7 thing everyone is talking about? Come out early to the CMAP main meeting on Tuesday and test drive Windows 7. We will have a number of computers preloaded with Windows 7 for you to use. Bring your questions about Windows 7 and we'll try to answer them. Also, being a developer user group, we'll have the latest beta of Visual Studio 2010 installed.

What is a party without prizes? We have a number of items to giveaway, including a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.
