Microsoft Talks Windows Timeline at Tech-Ed

What's that? Tech-Ed is going on this week? It would be easy enough to forget, given the decreased attendance (as far as we can tell; there are about 7,000 folks there now, and we seem to remember the show hitting five figures in Boston back in 2006, as well as in 2007) and overall low-key tone of the event.
