08:10am - Scott Guthrie - (3+ Hours)
Topic: Whatever Scott Wants :)

There is so much new technology on the market, that we're intentionally leaving this a little vague. This way Scott can talk about whatever he wants for the 3 hours. in the past, we've had to rush Scott off stage, and it just seems silly to do that, since he is the main attraction, and he's only here once a year. I know that Scott wants to cover the new Visual Studio 2010, new ASP.net 4 features, new ASP.net MVC2 features, data features, and well ... I guess whatever he wants.
