Longhorn, Whidbey snag WinHEC spotlight

eWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft officials are giving attendees at the annual Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here this week more bang for their buck by increasing the number of business planning and strategy sessions to 40 hours of content, while still providing a range of deeply technical sessions.

Attendees also can expect to receive a Longhorn build, but this will not be an alpha version of the product but rather an update of the developer preview of the software that was handed out at last October's Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles.
