Predictions for MIX 09 Announcements

Everybody is heading to MIX 09 except me! Poor me. I'm working on a nice ASP.NET 3.5 contract.

Microsoft always saves/targets release announcements for big events. As a Microsoft-owned conference MIX warrants major releases.

Here are my predictions on what products Microsoft will unveil:

Internet Explorer 8 release
ASP.NET MVC 1.0 release
Visual Studio 2010 ctp or beta
ASP.NET 4.0 beta
Silverlight 3 ctp

I certainly hope we see some decent tooling support for the Silverlight GUI in VS 2010.

What else? Maybe some new community controls for existing products and betas for the Expression suite? What have I missed? What leftovers will DevConnections get on March 22nd?

I'll pray with you for ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Release.

Oh heck, I'll do the other ones too :-)

I think you are missing something, Cloud Computing and Cloud Services are right now two important things in MS.

Something new around dev.live.com? new apis?

a new realese of azure? azure promoted to beta with SLA and commercial prices?

Good list, fingers crossed (especially on Silverlight 3.0)

I'd also predict that the web deployment tool will be RTM'd
