I was just checking out the Mix06 conference site and while it sounds very Web 2.0'ish I'd love to go. Why?
Look at this line located in "The Facts".
The latest on IE7, Windows Vista, Windows Media Center & Xbox 360, InfoCard, Windows Presentation Foundation, the Atlas AJAX framework and Windows Live!
