ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft announced Thursday that it was postponing the Professional Developers Conference, scheduled to take place from October 2 to 5 in Los Angeles. According to a posting on the MSDN site, PDC is designed to focus on future development technologies, but several key products will already be with developers in the fall.

"By this fall, however, upcoming platform technologies including Windows Server 2008, SQL Server code-named 'Katmai', Visual Studio code-named 'Orcas' and Silverlight will already be in developers' hands and approaching launch, which is where we'll focus our developer engagement in the near term."
