- kenjackson 16y agoYeah, TechEd is not supposed to be an announcement conference. It really is more of an education conference. The big announcement conferences for MS is PDC and MIX.
- rbanffy 16y agoSure, TechEd is not The Important Conference, but, still, no news whatsoever? Not even about the event?
- Zev 16y agoYeah, TechEd is not supposed to be an announcement conference. Neither is WWDC. Aside from the keynote, the rest of the week is under NDA and devoted to teaching developers about the new tech in Mac/iPhone/iPad/whatever and helping them figure out how to use it, not to major product announcements. And it is incredibly helpful if you've got a major problem that you need help with. One on one with engineers who built the frameworks! I've had multiple major problems either solved/worked around, or been put in touch with people who can solve them each time I've been at WWDC. And I'm not alone in that.
- rbanffy 16y agoI find this NDA thing deeply disturbing. It's like EULAs that prohibit you from publishing benchmark results. Seen a couple those. It's a policy designed to fragment the developer community in a way they have only Apple to resort to. Not healthy, IMHO.
