Every six months we visit the Microsoft campus for the plugfest. The next one is next week. This is a free conference that MS puts on where they host developers of File Systems and File System Filter Drivers. This is a chance for us to interop test with all the major players like MS, Symantec, Mcafee, CA, IBM, etc. MS also provides some great presentations on current and future technologies.

It is always a good time for us to network with MS devs. It is always helpful to be able to fire off an email to the dev of a project at MS.

This event is a "Vista only" event. Kind of makes sense since Vista is pretty much done at this point.

The MS Office team invited us up to do some testing in their lab with SVS and 2007. We're pretty excited about this. We arranged to do it the same week as the plugfest, so there will be quite a few of us in Redmond for the week.
