I'm intrrigued as to why there doesn't appear to be a ny sessions about the Microsoft Business Framework. Any idea?

I'm interested in how this fits in with SOA, ObjectSpaces, and ShadowFax. It seems odd there's no mention of it.

Well in general when we don’t have large scale public sessions on something if they are further out than the scope of the event (eg 1-2 years).

With regard to the specifics of MBF I have no idea why there is no mention of it in Tech Ed 2004 :)

It's my understanding that the first release of MBF is with Whidbey and the second is with Orcas. There was at least one session at the PDC.

Thanks for answering though. Maybe I should ask Tim?

Orcas is Longhorn timeframe and so out of scope of Tech Ed.

By all means ask Tim, I'll be interested to see what he says!

Tim Brookins' recent post should clear up the confusion about the silence surrounding MBF: http://blogs.msdn.com/timbrookins/archive/2004/05/10/129124.aspx

I think the architectural focus is in line with the maturing of the industry. Software engineers are simply moving 'up the stack'; doing more assembly and less building. It seems quite natural to move to higher levels of abstraction since we have been doing it since the beginning; 1GL -> 2GL -> 3GL -> 4GL. I'm sure the move from assembler to C received just as much attention ;)

Yes, Tim Brookings' post was what I was alluding too. I had heard that it was going to move into Longhorn but couldnt actually say that as I am not part of the group that owns MBF, hence the :)
