We don't get many MSDN sessions up here in Burlington, Vermont, so when one is available, I go!
The two sessions were led by Joe Stagner and were on 1) Deploying Smart Client Applications, and 2) Office 2003 and Visual Studio 2003. I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the heck out of these sessions and really like Joe's style.
Here are my notes on Deploying Smart Clients and on Office 2003 and VS.NET 2003, taken on my Dell Axim PocketPC and portable keyboard.
I have one thing to say about Office 2003 and VS.NET 2003: According to the presentation, the first release of Office 2003 only provides .NET managed code support for Word and Excel. Why can't we have .NET managed code support for OUTLOOK as well? I mean, my God. My users use Outlook as much as they use Word or Excel. Advanced communication or email handling capabilities through enhanced .NET Outlook apps would be as beneficial to my company as Smart tags and Smart Docs. Sometimes it just burns my crawl where the line is drawn on new product features.
