Microsoft's premier annual conference for IT Pros and Developers is almost upon us. Launched in 1993, TechEd has always been a great place to learn how to get the most out of Microsoft technologies. Where else can you meet and ask questions of the folks who actually participated in the design and development of a Microsoft operating system? Whether you are just exploring the different ways to configure Windows Vista, or if you are well along your deployment and want some advice on how to make sure it goes smoothly, the Windows Vista team members in attendance can give you the whys and hows.
If you haven't registered yet it's not too late, get all of the details here.
This year at TechEd we have over 80 sessions that touch on different aspects of Windows Vista.
