Microsoft Professional Developer Conference 2005 Presentation Slides

[Kris Kumar]

Microsoft has released the presentation slides used by the speakers at its Professional Developers Conference 2005. I am pretty impressed with the speed with which the slides have been made public. :) I still haven't had a chance to watch Bill Gates' keynote speech, which included the much talked about Windows Vista and Office 12 demos. And now I will have to hurry up and watch the keynote speech and also the read all the presentations. Overall, this year PDC didn't seem to have enough focus on the mobile technology. I believe it was not even mentioned in the keynote speech. :evil:

Forgot to mention that I could not find slides for a very important presentation: Future Directions in Mobile Device Hardware. I am hoping that it will be made public soon. I am sure it contains tons of useful information.
