4) Pandu spoke about Sketch Flow in Expression Blend3

5) Nano Car experience and IPLT20 are developed using .NET technology – a feel good factor. Hope Silverlight streaming would be next generation of media transmission

6) IE 8 and WebSlices and Accelerators are going to be the part of IE8 highlights and key elements of success

7) Interoperability Lab from Microsoft is being setup at Bangalore and this is open for all public with out any fee

During this meeting, Abhisheik mentioned about a trick while presenting the Naked Browser Competition, that is run the command “explore –extoff” to open up the IE8 with lightening fast. This command opens IE with out enabling any Add-ons, which is a plain old fashioned and classical browser of IE4 or IE5 like. Anyhow, it is good that we can use the latest component in classical old style.

June 25th is the next time we can connect as the 2nd event of this kind. Did you attend this? Did i miss any point?

The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire.
