PDC is not just the Windows 7 show

Microsoft's Professional Developer Conference kicks off next Monday in Los Angeles, and all of the attention and interest is on Windows 7, the successor to Microsoft's ill-received Vista.
The thing is, this show is not the Windows Developer Conference. There's more than just Windows 7 on the agenda, which will be discussed in just 21 of the 194 sessions. So what else will Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) talk about?
How about Windows Server 2008? Silverlight? .Net Framework 4.0? Microsoft's software+services strategy? There's plenty to cover, and Directions on Microsoft analyst Mike Cherry believes Windows 7 won't be the dominant topic of discussion because Win7 is not a radical change from Vista.
