Why No Microsoft Research Presentations At PDC?

Tuesday, September 23, 2003

Am I the only one wondering why Microsoft Research appears to be treated as a poor lost unexpected Microsoft orphan child? Two extremely interesting .NET language projects come immediately to mind: AsmL and F#. Why isn't the Microsoft .NET Blogging Conspiracy screaming to have a presentation on these (not to mention ILX or even the basic topic of alternate .NET languages) at PDC? Do our favorite CLR/CLS/CLI fanatics now care only about C# and VB?

PDC is about upcoming products not research projects.

Some of them are going to be in Argentina at a local Research event organized together with Microsoft local brach. You can get some information at (www.jonadasids.net), for the moment Yury Gurevich is confirmed but there are more to come.

I'll be attending the PDC but a some friends of mine are going to be here, so i'll try to post something in my blog.
