We couldn't have delivered the Roadshow without your fantastic support!

Next Time

We're going into hibernation for a little while to reacquaint ourselves with family and friends, but early 2009 will see many events, including our Spring Roadshow, likely in the later February into March timeframe.

Keep an eye on our blogs and sign up for MSDN Flash to hear updates on that and other events as they emerge.

Thanks again, and we'll see you again on the road!
