Microsoft opened the second day of its Professional Developer Conference 2009 with the announcement of Silverlight 4 and a progress update on Internet Explorer 9.

But the presentation began with a look back. The opening keynote came from Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live division of Microsoft. One year ago, he was offering the first developer beta of Windows 7. Today, he got to talk about the process of testing the operating system that launched three weeks ago.
