PDC 2003, Los Angeles
Microsoft gave developers a peek at some of the early builds of the version of Windows code-named “Longhorn”. This release represented a lot of big advancements for the operating system, and the developer audience was anxious to learn whatever they could. In this episode of PDC Classics, join Don Box and Chris Anderson as they fondly look back at this PDC which also gave them the first time to present together on stage. We'll also see clip from the keynote where the "Red versus Blue" team shows us how important it is to attend the PDC, and Hillel Cooperman provides a brief demo of “Longhorn”. If you’d like some more details of some of the other developer oriented technologies and products which were unveiled at PDC’03, you can check out this press release from October 27th, 2003:

Ah, memories. The Longhorn reveal was - and will always remain - epic. I don't think a Windows reveal was more exciting since Windows 95!

PDC03 was a big one for me. At the time I was being pushed more and more into a management role and was beginning to doubt my future as a Developer.
Going to this conference ignited a fire in me once again and I came back to work energized like never before. PDC made me remember why I fell in love with technology to begin with. Seeing people walking around with shirts like "Geek", "Developers! Developers! Developers!" and "" felt like I was home.
I'll always remember that week and the path it put me on. Looking forward to PDC09!
