TechEd 2010

Tomorrow by this time I will be waiting to board a plane that will take me to Berlin where Microsoft is hosting TechEd Europe 2010.

The conference is scheduled to debut this Monday, November 8th, and Softpedia will be on site to cover the event.

Some of you might already be familiar with TechEd, and know the span of this conference as well as the topics that the software giant focuses on.

In this regard, nothing really changed compared to the past years. TechEd continues to be an event dedicated to IT professionals ahead of anything else.

Here’s Microsoft description of the conference: “Tech•Ed is Microsoft’s premier technical education event providing the most comprehensive technical training on Microsoft’s suite of products, technologies, solutions and services.

“If you are a technology professional involved in building, deploying or maintaining IT solutions using Microsoft technologies, Tech•Ed is the conference that will help you solve today's real-world challenges and prepare you for tomorrow's innovations.”

I have my schedule ready, and I’ll meet with a range of Microsoft employees, including some heavyweights.

So I thought I’d offer you a chance to send over some questions for Microsoft, and I’ll do my best to squeeze them in with my questions.

While it would be best that these questions be more technical or business related than, say end user matters, this should be viewed as more of a guideline than a restriction.

So by all means, ask away! Windows 7, Windows Server, Windows Azure, the Cloud, Office, Lync, Windows Phone, deployment, customization, best practices, licensing, etc. there are just some suggestions of topics for you to consider.

You can always visit the TechEd website and check out the content posted there for ideas on additional questions.

The Redmond company offered some reasons to attend:

“Tech•Ed attendees get deep, technical content, hands-on learning experiences, and opportunities to connect with industry and Microsoft experts one-on-one. Tech•Ed is the conference that will help you solve today's real-world IT challenges and prepare for tomorrow's innovations.

- Hear about the future of Microsoft’s products, technologies, solutions and services directly from Microsoft’s leaders

- Attend technical sessions delivered by Microsoft and industry experts

- Participate in Hands-on Labs and Technical Learning Centres designed to give you practical experience with the latest tools and technologies

- Network with Microsoft and industry experts, and fellow delegates that share your technology interests and business challenges

- Plan the features and architecture to support your product and business goals and to prepare your skills for the future.”

So you know the drill. Please leave your questions in the comments section bellow. There’s also an email address you can use. And of course, I’m on Twitter if you want to use the social network.

You should ask them that why they are not adding Add-ons feature in IE9 and also ask them to implant new feature which forces https connection. I will add some more later.

Hello, Marius. I really want the answer from Microsoft on this:
When will we have Service Pack 3 for Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007, which I, and many millions of others use?
Please press them for a specific reply; I am sick of official 'template' type responses!
Thank you. Sid

When is MS going to improve the Live Applications in order to meet the user's expectations?
An example : Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Combining the features of Paint and Office Picture Manager in WLPG and adding support for Twain Scanners, just to name a couple of user requests.

Comment #5 by: keestu on 06 Nov 2010, 17:11 UTC reply to this comment

Are they going to release the source code for windows 95 ever....

Comment #5.1 by: OOXML on 07 Nov 2010, 10:40 GMT

Why do you think that they will do such thing? It would not make any sense to expose the code, there might be some subsets or parts of code being used in current operating system components, never forget that MS in what regards the code they prefer the
"Security through obscurity" methodology. ;)

W7 has a major bug, everytime you uninstall a program, or install a hotfix you lose 1/4 to 1 gig of harddrive space.

Comment #6.1 by: keestu on 07 Nov 2010, 07:13 GMT

I think thats because of system restore and %temp%..Please take these question to a tech forum before hand. Paste the link here and then post the questions if the solution is not been got.

Comment #6.2 by: OOXML on 07 Nov 2010, 10:36 GMT

There's no major Bug on W7 reggarding the disk space allocation after you uninstall a program, there is a feature called Windows System Restore, bing it and find out what it does, you will be more cleared about that.

Thanks you guys! Keep'em coming!


Comment #8 by: picsoetje on 06 Nov 2010, 22:54 UTC reply to this comment

IE8 had a nice advantage over competition : separate address and search bars.
IE9 will have a combined address/search bar which is less user friendly.
MS should not align to the negative side of the competition because this means regression. They should at least allow the user to choose for separate address/search bars or one combined one.

When is there going to be 128 bit windows?


Comment #10 by: spy on 08 Nov 2010, 01:15 UTC reply to this comment

I have lost over 10 gigs of Harddrive space uninstalling programs or installing programs. System restore is and has been turned off since the last format 1 month ago.

When SP3 for Vista will be made (it is know it is made) and when I9 final will be released for download and use.


Comment #12 by: Eaglehawkone on 09 Nov 2010, 00:41 UTC reply to this comment

I think a very important question would be to ask microsoft why does windows 7 crash every new PC video games that is installed on computers with windows 7, why didnt they test windows 7 with all the latest games ? that way we wouldnt have problems on the consumer end. Windows 7 needs some kind of game compatibility patch so that games can be play at their given resolution (high res) without crashing!
