>VFP is having its own DevCon and most VFP developers are going there. It doesn't make sense for MS to offer sesions that no one will attend.

While this is true, the other products have their own conferences throughout the year as well.

My only beef is that TechEd, IMHO, has become THE conference for the Visual Studio developer or any developer of one of the products that wants to integrate it with other Microsoft technologies (i.e. MTS, MSMQ, IIS40, etc)
