Windows Summit 2010 is a special opportunity to learn-straight from the Windows team-how you can best use Windows 7 and Internet Explorer to enable great solutions for your customers. This three-day event takes place May 25-27 at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, WA, and is designed for people who engineer and test Windows 7-based PCs and solutions. Take advantage of this uniquely intimate event on the Microsoft campus to network with Microsoft technical experts and leaders at breakout sessions, chalk talks, and an "ask the experts" evening and social event. Michael Angiulo, General Manager of the Windows Planning and PC Ecosystem team, will give the opening keynote to provide a view of the Windows business and the exciting opportunities in front of us.
Experts from Windows are designing three technical tracks-System, Device, and Software-to help you create the best systems, devices, and software using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
The System track includes sessions on:
. Optimizing performance and energy efficiency
. Implementing touch-enabled PCs
. Designing effective user experiences
. Understanding the Windows Logo Program for systems
. Creating and deploying system images
The Device track includes sessions on:
. Overviews and demos of the Windows 7 device experience
. Understanding the Windows Logo Program for devices
. Using the Windows 7 platform to create custom device experiences
The Software track includes sessions on:
. Developing touch-enabled applications
. Supporting the Windows Libraries feature
. Building on the Windows Sensors and Location platform
. Utilizing Windows Error Reporting
. Developing rich Web applications using Internet Explorer

The new Windows Error Reporting Agreement version 1.3 is now available for signing on the Winqual Web site (
https://winqual.microsoft.com/). The new agreement addresses two sections of the previous agreement. It eliminates the six-month time period for use of information that is not personally identifiable; and also adds the ability for companies to submit public symbol files to enhance problem identification and prioritization.
Note: You must sign the new Windows Error Reporting Agreement version 1.3 by May 1, 2010, in order to access Windows Error Reporting (WER) data after that date.
