Day Two of the PDC, or Professional Developers Conference is coming to an end down here in LA.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Azure will be opening data centers in both Europe, and Asia in 2010 as well.
There was a piece of Azure to see, at PDC, take a look at the bottom image.
Pinpoint:
Pinpoint is an enterprise level utility store that is built for Azure projects.
If you build it on Azure, you’re able to sell it in Pinpoint.
Project Dallas:
Inside of Pinpoint, Dallas is a information marketplace.
People looking to use Azure, can buy data sets to use inside of their applications.
The data sets currently in Dallas are quite interesting, stretching from Nasa photos, to AP content.
Silverlight:
Silverlight 4 is now in beta, and you could download it.
Silverlight now has a 45% market install base, and is only accelerating that share.
Sharepoint:
Sharepoint 2010 beta is now open for download, bringing new power to the popular product.
Cheif among those is Outlook Social Connect, which will integrate LinkedIn into Sharepoint.
The line was long, but the laptop is quite pretty, I must say.
I have not used a touchscreen laptop in quite some time.
Impressive, thus far.
That is it so far, it seems.
Despite fewer attendees than normal, Microsoft has been putting on a good technological show so far.
