Side-by-Side Windows and Mac Applications
Posted at Derek Hatchard blogs on by Derek (Go directly to post):
Lifehacker says the latest Parallels beta has a feature called Coherence that hides the Windows desktop so your Mac and Windows apps run side-by-side as if they were native.  Wow. “Coherence works by hiding your entire Windows desktop while creating a window that lets Windows apps peak through.”  It’s a hack for sure, but wow.

It's Coming: PDC 07, October 2 - 5
Posted at Ardent Dev by Derek Hatchard (Go directly to post):

You heard it here first:  the next Microsoft Professional Developers Conference will be October 2 - 5, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.  The Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) is the definitive developer event focused on the future of the Microsoft platform.

Registration is NOT open at this point.  The dates have simply been announced.

It was PDC 03 that tipped me off to the coming web-desktop convergence.  It was PDC 05 where I saw what a real Avalon (humph, WPF) designer could look like with timelines, transitions, reflection, etc.

Start saving your pennies or start dropping hints to your boss!
