Microsoft may be limiting (severely) attendance at its upcoming Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Redmond, but it is adding 65 regional "mini" PDC events in the U.S. and other countries worldwide to compensate.

At the various free events, Microsoft will be webcasting keynotes and sessions from the main PDC on big screens. It also will be offering training and access to various members of the Azure, Windows Phone 7, Windows and other teams to those who attend the regional events, company officials said.

Mini PDCs will be held in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Tokyo, Mountain View, Calif., and multiple other cities in Europe, South America and Australia. Microsoft is updating the regional event map regularly. Those interested in attending a local event can register via the regional event site.

The U.S. PDC is on Microsoft's campus in Redmond this year and will be a two-day event at the end of October. Microsoft is expected to focus primarily on developer news around its Azure and smart phone platforms at the event. The company has yet to post information on any of the sessions planned for the confab.

    VMWare's P2V tool has been the best to use thus far, but to be fair, nobody has a working P2V tool for OSX (at least outside of Apple).

      @atrok immersed in Android. And they laugh at the Jobs' reality distortion field. (ie, EVO still being put on a pedestal despite the recent issues re poor quality and functionality)<br><br>The only thing presently going for the iPhone wannabe Android is iPhone being exclusive to AT&T. Android will take a big hit if/once the iPhone becomes widely available on other carriers.<br><br>But keep up the mindless fanboism and Apple bashing as it proves Mac "zealots" are the tame and sane ones <a href="http://www.arabaoyunlarimiz.gen.tr/kiz-oyunlari/friv-3.html">friv</a> <a href="http://www.kraloyun.gen.tr/yeni-oyunlar/">yeni oyunlar</a> <a href="http://www.oyunbee.com/">oyunlar</a> <a href="http://www.kraloyunu.net/">kral oyun</a>

      Great that these are being made available from Microsoft to the wider tech community, its very important to be able to understand the direction that MS is going in so that this information can filter down.

    I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They're really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

    Microsoft Exchange that is past its end-of-life support date, making spam, troll-management and synchronization difficult. Company officials also are playing up the new Web-based forums ability to provide centralized searchable content and to highlight the contributions of designated experts.
