Microsoft MVP Global Summit 2008 Pictures
I finally found some time to post a few pictures of the Microsoft MVP Global Summit 2008 in Seattle. The summit was great. There were 1753 MVPs from all over the world attending the summit. The sessions given by Microsoft product groups were very interesting. I went to all the Visual C++ sessions and it was great to hear the direction in which they are going with the product. One thing they made perfectly clear is that MFC is not dead 🙂 They are putting interesting new things in upcoming versions of MFC which allow you to create modern user interfaces for your MFC applications. One such thing is the ribon bar which is part of the MFC Feature Pack for Visual Studio 2008. Below you can see some pictures taken during the summit.

Often there is a discussion between newsgroup advocates and forum advocates. In one of the keynotes this was mentioned with the following slide 😀
All in all the summit was great and I’m looking forward to the next one.
