ENT News | at | by Mike

Windows Server DevCon kicked off today in Seattle with Bill Veghte, corporate vice president for Microsoft, touting Windows .NET Server as "the fastest, most reliable and most secure" operating system ever to come out of Redmond. Veghte's keynote session this morning marks the first formal introduction of Windows .NET Server to developers, many of whom have been tinkering with the new OS since its first release candidate shipped in late July.

Here today, Microsoft is characterizing Windows .NET Server as a big step in regard to developer productivity. "We're all about making your lives easier - making it easier for you to write the kinds of applications you want to write," said David Treadwell, general manager for the .NET developer platform at Microsoft.
