Today was a fun day in Las Vegas.  It started off with the Keynote this morning where Microsoft’s Server & Tools Business President Bob Muglia announced the release of Visual Studio 2010.  Sam Gazitt, Doug Seven and I gave demonstrations of the product.  They all did a great job.  After that there was booth duty where I had a great opportunity to talk with customers and learn more about how they use Visual Studio.

In between booth duty I also spent some time on Channel 9 with Jonathan Carter.  I’m currently waiting to receive the list of questions that I said I would follow up on.  My guess is that I will receive them tomorrow and should have an answer by Wednesday.  Feel free to come back and check.

Today Charlie Kindel posted a blog post on compatibility issues with Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP and Visual Studio RTM.  This issue will be addressed in the coming weeks but you can find more information at the blog post.

Talk to you soon,

On Monday April 12th we are going to be launching Visual Studio 2010.  This is an exciting day as there are a lot of new features in this release that will help developers simply create applications for the web, cloud, phone, Windows, database and other platforms.

There will be 5 keynotes throughout the world starting in Beijing and ending in Las Vegas with Microsoft president Bob Muglia.  I will be one of the demonstrators during the keynote.  You will have to tune in to see what will be shown.  It will be broadcast live starting at 8:30am online at http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/watch-it-live.

After the Las Vegas keynote Channel 9 will be broadcasting interviews live.  You can submit your questions via twitter @ch9live.  The schedule is posted to the Channel 9 website.  I will be there sessions on days 1 and 2.
