There hasn't been any good excitement/speculation/rumours/etc etc in my feed for my liking, so who are you guys following? What are the active development blogs you're reading and more specifically, which ones are all about Build?

Though I have to say, I'm a bit disturbed, it starts tomorrow and not a peep on the C9 front page anywhere!

to be expected ... i bet they get in touble if they even say they will be there, or if they are there they can not disclose that they are there and can see the room..... hush it's all a total secret.....

LOL

I also heard that MJF is putting a crack team together to blog the event (keep it to yourself)

I heard that the venue for BUILD is just a decoy - the actual event is taking place elsewhere (sorry I can't tell you any more - I'm sure you understand.)

anyone who arrives in the front goes in and a few minutes later a black van leaves to take them to the real location where the secret labs are ....

I've already planned my schedule for tomorrow:  I pushed ahead an early meeting I have with a client, then suddenly and unexpectedly an emergency is going to happen at my apartment forcing me to return too it half an hour before the keynote begins,  when I get to it, I'm going to plug my laptop into my HDTV so I can see the keynote live broadcasting and related tweets in it, while I pretend I keep working on the laptop's regular screen.

@figuerres: I've heard that they are going to be using something codenamed "Teleport 5" to transfer people to the actual location  (one of the side effects of the process being you forget all about Silverlight.)

it's the T.A.R.D.I.S

i wonder what kind of bane the softies are under if they where to leak anything...

Expression Blend 5

Visual Express 11

Found a link for EB5 for SL5 but it doesn't mention HTML5 / CSS3 capabilities

you can download all of the code that attendees at BUILD received. This includes 32 or 64 bit x86 builds, with or without development tools. The releases also include a suite of sample/SDK applications and the SDK (please note these are merely illustrations of potential apps, not apps that we intend to ship with Windows 8). The ISOs are linked to from http://dev.windows.com. You download with a Windows Live ID (which you might want to use to test out some of the new roaming features).
