MVP Summit 2013 1st Day

Hi folks,

today was the first day of technical sessions with the Windows Embedded product group. The main topic was technical details on Windows Embedded Compact 2013 (No it’s not called Window Embedded CE/Compact 8).

As all the sessions are under NDA since Microsoft is disclosing confidential information, I really can’t tell you about the technical content discussed (as much as I would like to). But be ensured that the Microsoft guys were really sweating with all of our questions – Thanks a lot for the interesting content guys!

Have fun!

MVP Summit 2013 touristy stuff…

Hi folks,

Since we are in the States now, of course we had to do some touristy stuff.

First we had a burger at Fatburger, afterwards we went shopping on a Sunday (impossible in most of Europe)! After shopping for some Levi’s jeans I treated myself to a Microsoft Surface RT device. I must say I am very happy with it!

Lastly here are some impressions of Seattle…

Have fun!

MVP Summit 2013 arrived

Hi folks,

After 15h of traveling, Nicolas and I arrived in Bellevue/Redmond, WA for the 20^th anniversary Microsoft MVP Summit.

The technical sessions with the Windows Embedded product group are on Monday and Tuesday – I am very much looking forward to the latest news around Windows Embedded Compact 2013 as well as Windows Embedded 8 Standard!

For now we are off to downtown Seattle for some touristy stuff like the Space Needle,  The Monorail, Pikes Place Marked, Smith Tower, Water Front and of course some Starbucks coffee...

Have fun!

MVP Summit 2013 preview

Hi folks,

Nicolas and I are off to this year’s Microsoft MVP Summit in Bellevue/Redmond, WA.

I am really looking forward to discuss exciting topics like Windows Embedded Compact 2013 – the successor of Windows Embedded Compact 7, Windows Embedded Standard 8, etc with the Windows Embedded team at Microsoft as well as with fellow MVPs!

Also the networking aspect with both fellow MVPs as well as with Microsoft is very important for me!

Most of those discussions are under NDA so we cannot Blog about them yet, however we will Blog as much about the MVP Summit as possible.

Have fun!
