Craig,

>I'm heading off to the PDC this afternoon. I'm planning to blog, when possible, about things that are happening there and announcements that are made. If you're in the LA area, I have some time Friday night for dinner or Saturday for lunch if you want to get together.

I'm looking forward to your blog reports and wishing that I could be there at PDC this week to cover it all in person. (I got a press pass, but unfortunately cannot break away from 'real' project work this week.)

I'm hoping that you will report in detail on Anders' overview session on the Integrated Query Framework, his session on the C# enhancements for Orcas (its syntax for how it will address the IQF), and comparing the C# approach to the VB syntax approach to IQF (VB syntax to be shown in Paul Vick's Thursday session). I think those three sessions are where the real story will be found for the new Fox-like features for Orcas -- those are the sessions I would have focused on.
