The "What are we going to see that is brand new at BUILD" thread ...

With Windows 8 being released on 25th October and BUILD starting on 30th I am wondering just how many of the cats will be out of the bag by the time it roles around. 

With this in mind I reckon any unveilings will be developer focused:

• Windows Phone 8 SDK RC1
• NOKIA Lumia ARM Tablet (pre release for devs)
• A Microsoft Surface branded (Developer Focused) Windows 8 Phone.
• I would also hope we would see a definitive framework for building single source Windows 8 and Phone 8 Apps for VS2012/Blend
• Some developer focused traditional tablets from 3rd parties (ie some not released at launch)
• Visual FoxPro 2012 for Surface.

(OK maybe not that last one)

I could wear a new shirt and swing by if it's that important to you.

No, ... you're OK  .......

Will endeavor to bring you some more WSMCs unless you have found a source over there?

Wrong BUILD conference. Right link -> http://www.buildwindows.com/

But I do wonder why they have a register button. Conference is full and they probably have thousands of registrations in the queue if someone doesn't want to go.

Yes, but this one has a workshop on Chocolatiering and also, you get to see where Titanic was built!  How cool is that?

Also, Metro Mandy is there! (And I am pretty sure you can use that word without being arrested)
