Microsoft kicked off its fourth Strategic Architect Forum -- a gathering of 250 of the most influential software architects among the largest of its worldwide customers -- on the company?s sprawling Redmond campus on Wednesday.

Also attending the two and a half day event will be 100 of Microsoft?s most senior field architects.

The invitation-only event, which is fully attended despite a snow storm Monday that brought the Seattle area to an unseasonably icy halt, is meant to be ?a dialog between Microsoft and our customers on architectural topics that allows them to make the best technology decisions and helps us to deliver the best technology choices,? a company spokesperson said in an e-mail.
