As part of Microsoft's Windows 7 announcements yesterday the company has revealed that their professional developers conference is scheduled this year and the company is ready to reveal more about Windows 7.

Looking at the sessions agenda you can see the following:

  • Windows 7: Graphics Advances
  • Windows 7: Optimizing for Energy Efficiency and Battery Life
  • Windows 7: Touch Computing
  • Windows 7: Web Services in Native Code


The sessions hint at new APIs like multi-touch gestures and networking but also reveal the focus on energy efficiency and battery life for mobile computing.

For web developers there is a lot of sessions focussed on Silverlight development and cloud computing.

Neowin will be at Tech-Ed 08 for the pro track and PDC 08 later in the year covering all the latest developments for Windows 7.

"Windows 7: Web Services in Native Code"


Does that finally mean a bit of consistency between Windows and it's web services?

I hope so!

It sounds like it, should be a very interesting show either way.

But Tech-ED is first right? What are the dates for the shows anyways?

*edit* Just looked at the PDC link, that's in Oct.
