InfoWorld | at | by Mike
With multi-core processors becoming a preferred method for building more powerful computers, Microsoft anticipates that a key trend for the future of application development will be accommodating parallel systems.
Microsoft officials at a press event Tuesday evening in Orlando, Fla. emphasized parallel development as a focus for the future.
The event was held in conjunction with the TechEd 2008 conference. Attendees at the conference offered their own perspectives not only on parallel programming but on other issues and technologies, such as the Silverlight rich Internet application platform, the Oslo modeling project, and migrating Visual Basic 6 code to .Net.
