Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 – Write Up

Microsoft Tech-Ed 2005 this year was a great success! There were many of new products shown off by Microsoft, and alot of furture technologies coming.

Was good to hear about the talks around .NET 2.0 and Vistual Studio Team System.
As you can imagine, there were a number of people blogging about Tech-Ed.

Since I have been extremerly busy and havent had time to write up about it, ive found some really good writeups.
Here are some great summary posts:

If you have some time, have a read up about what some of the people had to say. There were some really good summary posts. There were also loads of photos from Tech-Fest. Check them out at Seans write up: http://blogs.msdn.com/smcbreen/archive/2005/08/31/458245.aspx

The Feelers played live at the event. For those that dont know them, they are a New Zealand band. Some awersome music. Check them out here: http://www.thefeelers.co.nz/
