WinHEC Update The WinHEC event team would like to provide you with an update on the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference. Based on feedback and research about previous WinHEC events, we've decided to try a new approach. For 2010, we are planning the Windows Summit event for hardware partners, software developers, and decision makers. We believe that the Summit is the right vehicle to directly provide the Windows tools, resources, and information for our hardware community.
Windows Summit 2010 Goes Virtual, Beginning May 25 Windows Summit 2010 for software and hardware developers, designers, engineers, and testers, just got easier to attend. It's now a virtual event so any technology professional who builds or wants to build hardware and software solutions on the Windows 7 and Internet Explorer (IE) platforms can participate. A virtual event gives you access to content, tools, resources, and information from the convenience of your computer.
Opening Talks We're pleased to announce that Windows Summit 2010 kicks off with an opening talk by Michael Angiulo, General Manager of Windows Planning and PC Ecosystem Teams.

This includes supporting world-class compatibility and showcasing the innovations from the ecosystem of Windows partners. The System track begins June 2 and features Brad Brooks, corporate vice president for Windows Consumer Marketing and Product Management.
