*ahem!
In MS country manager Jawwad's words yesterday: "It is a critical event for any software developer who wants to see the latest as well as the next generation of Microsoft technologies".
Last year's PDC was a marketing gimmick. I hope this year, showcasing Longhorn and a few other extras, will give a differrrrent edge.
Minister IT Awais Laghari has made it nearly on time--at 11 (originally schedueled to address at 10:25) at PC right now. This is a fresh start for him. I wonder who gave the wake up call? ;~)
Got back from the PDC.
If you need to park: make sure you do it in the stadium ground opposite the race course [next to the Shell petrol pump]. Otherwise, you'll be stuck tracking parking space for hours.
Security: Its like a fortress around PC right now. Police every where. NO ONE WITH BAGS ALLOWED INSIDE THE DEMO HALLS. I had to wait and through three event managers/MS folks to get an okay :P Had a body and bag search. What a fucking nusicance honestly for a mere marketing seminar where a few goras have shown up.
Arrangement: No event planner was provided to press wallas at the venue or entrance--unless you asked a volunteer nicely to hand you one.
Longhorn the future--that's what I walked in and Nasser Khan Ghazi showed it off. Ahem--nice wallpaper. And you can zoom in and out to look at folders and oh a cute watch thrown in on sidebar sponsored by Amazon (?). What am I talking about? You'll read it all in Spider's next issue.
more tomorrow. heard they threw a BIG lunch for everyone.
PDC bloggers are at work apparently.
Zunaira .... using abusive language does not make you cool.
PDC a marketing gimmick? yeah right. and Spider is a trashy English gossip tabloid? Zunaira if PDC is a marketing event then one can conclude that either you are (1) badly informed or (2) a born liar.
most likely Zunaira is not a developer and has no knowledge of coding technical events or of technology whatsoever or she would not call it a marketing event!
Please write so that we can believe you in the future.
Just the facts ma'am. Just the facts.
Sorry ref. using that F word. Very frustrating to encounter event mismanagement. Yet that was uncalled for.
However, I stand by every other word in my post.
