Developers don't come to the Dev Connections conference for big announcements about major new products from Microsoft. They come for intense hands-on sessions with experts in various Microsoft technologies. Some of the expert speakers are from Microsoft and many are not. Their candor about the products gives the conference its unique appeal.

 Check out the tongue-in-cheek webcasts made by conference attendees who completed the sentence "If I ran Microsoft" at Windows IT Pro's ITTV.net website.

On a more serious note, here's a round-up of developer news blogs and podcasts from the conference:
