TechEd Brazil 2006

The TechEd Brazil 2006 was a great event. For the opening session a good introduce by Gabriel, O pensador and good performances between the presentations.

For the Brazilian public the high point was present the products in PT-BR. All here now how long takes to this kind of products gets his Brazilian version.

Other good point was the presence of Microsoft Vice-President, Microsoft Brazil President, and the most famous 3D Brazilian Designer Hans Donner. All they made a good impression in the event.

The Windows Vista presentation was very good and I believe, different for XP, everybody who can will migrated very soon. I'm already on Vista. On the next posts I'll show some tips to continues works fine, like in XP.

The most exciting demonstration was the Exchange 2007 and the PABX integration. Really amazing!

In the following days we had a lot of presentations, hands on lab and a lot of talk in the community lounge. I asked to the responsible of MSDN Brazil about Commerce Server Forum in Brazilian lands and she told me that we have to warm up this product here. As we know Commerce Server is present in some big player in Brazilian E-commerce but not enter already in the B2B, G2C and C2C as it was in B2C. But I'm still confident that this kind of product increase his production here, maybe even with some spefic features.

The other highlights was Office System 2007 Sharepoint, ASP.net Ajax, XAML, WCF. This products will make a big noise the 2007. For presentation, ASP.net Ajax are a present reality and XAML (WPF) will be a promisor product, in my opinion this depends most like Vista will be accept by the user.

WCF shows his weapons in TechEd too.

There were good days, congratulations Microsoft for the great event.
