No chance in hell of getting the State to pay for it so no dice.

A lot of my coworkers will be down there presenting, I didn't even realize you had to pay to go

Yes, its very expensive.

But our company is paying for the group to go for the week.

At 2k/person, it keeps the jackass's out, and the ones who really want to learn bleeding edge technologies in.

Ohh yeah if you care... This is Bill's last tech-ed. So I guess you could expect to see the new windows mobile 7 presented for developers to get started on for the October release.

I dont know if I could get anything from it, you sit there in the little classrooms taking the time to listen to the guru's talk. Then you feel affraid to ask a question for fear to be looked at like a dumbass, coming from fellow geeks, that stare can be quite depressing ;-)

exactly...i wanted to go to the web conference in seattle next month, but that ain't gonna happen, either

especially since i just spent a week in austin for training at the beginning of may on the taxpayer dime

^^ I can tell you, you shouldn't be afraid to ask questions, especially the dumb ones. The presenters are all there looking for feedback and suggestions to better our product (Visual Studio )
