Windows 8 last day of discount.

In case you didn't know, Microsoft has been selling Windows 8 for 40 dollars for the last couple months. Today is the last day that you can get it at that price. Tomorrow the price will go up to 200 dollars. So if you want to get Windows 8 I would suggest going to http://windows.microsoft.com and buying it before the day is over.

If you are into Microsoft development and want to meet other people who are into it as well. Check them out. Here

MS launch event in Detroit

Looks like Microsoft is doing another launch event for Visual Studio 2008, Server 2008, and SQL server 2008. There is one in Cleveland on the 13th of March 2008 and there is one in Detroit on March 18th 2008. Looks like they are giving away copies of all the software. I think that I may have to go.

Silverlight is one of Microsoft's latest technologies. It is still in beta but from what I've seen it is pretty cool. They talked a lot about it at the Mix 07 conference. If you want more info about Silverlight go here.
