Microsoft's holding the Middle East Developers' Conference (MDC) in Cairo, Egypt for the 3rd time in a row, with Gates as the keynote speaker for the 2nd time in a row. Last year was simply amazing, loaded with information, with people like Patric Hynds, Stephen Forte and Rafael Lukawitski giving astounding sessions.

I don't know who they brought this time, but it sure is going to be great. Today is day 0, and I'm heading for registration approximately 45 minutes from now [grin]

Here's a shot from last year (shamelessly stolen from Stephen Forte's website):

I'm the leftmost dude in the red circle. Click to enlarge.
