The Dallas event celebrated the launch of Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. The event brought together IT Pros and Developers to get an in-depth, up-close look at the new products and gave attendees an opportunity to meet with Microsoft Partners as well as members of the development teams who created the cutting-edge technologies. While I can’t replicate the in-person interaction in this blog, I can give you access to the sessions that were delivered there. Enjoy the videos of both the IT Pro and Developer tracks
