>I won't be at Devcon. Does anyone know if the opening session can be seen live on the Internet?

The keynote is going to be video recorded just like DevCon last year. If the recording and all go well as planned like last year, it is likely we will have the entire video of the keynote session available to be viewed via streaming video from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro, probably online sometime around the middle of October. Stay tuned.
