Coming soon: Windows SDK

We're just finishing signoff today on the Windows SDK. You may have seen this product referred to as the Longhorn or Vista SDK, but this release encompasses both the WinFX docs and Vista-specific documentation. The SDK, with samples, tools and docs, will be available as a download for MSDN subscribers, so subscribers, watch your mail. The docs will also be available online in browsable form in the same way that the WinFX docs are, and those docs will be available for everyone. Expect that to be online shortly.

After that we'll start ramping up for PDC in Los Angeles in mid-September. This is the first conference I'm attending as a member of this team, and I can't wait to meet our users and get an idea of how we can improve your professional life by improving our SDK. Along with being the Setup PM for our products, I'm also involved in the process of getting a feel for our users, creating personas and working to deeply engage the people who use our SDKs. PDC should be great at helping me to do exactly that.
