Just got back home from Singapore yesterday, it was a fantastic MVP summit! Session content was average, but the social programs and networking of the event are the best so far. Anyway,just read couple of things about IIS 7. First, there was a IIS 7 DevLabs in Redmond ! HECK ! I wasn't there :( I wasn't told at all :( and I'm sad :( Anyway, here's some pretty good updates from Cory Isakson from Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4. Nikhil Kothari has an update regarding the lab as well. If you ask me to pick whether to go for regional MVP summit or this DevLabs ? I'll pick Redmond :) argghh !! sigh! Lastly, do watch out the IISSeven.com for more IIS7 news and developments.
