Welcome To DevWire!

Now you can’t miss it. No more browsing endless World Wide Web sites, wondering what is new. No more waiting for that postcard announcing a conference that starts that afternoon 3,000 miles away. No more worrying that your fiercest competitor has a pipeline into Microsoft and you’ll be the last to know.

On a biweekly basis, we will be sending you the headlines of the most current Microsoft developer news, events and information. If there’s time-sensitive material that needs to go out right away, we’ll send that to you in a flash message.

What can you expect? Information that’s specifically selected for you, the developer. For example, we’ll tell you when the next versions of Microsoft Visual Tools will be available. Find out how to participate in the next Developer Days extravaganza. You won’t be left behind when new white papers are available on our developer Web site. Basically, we’ll give you brief abstracts of the material you want to know About. And while you’re browsing our Web pages, let us know how we’re doing on our Feedback form.

Where can you find more information? All of the information we reference on the DevWire list server can be accessed in its full glory from the following Web site: http://www.microsoftcom/DevWire. So cut and paste the address into your browser’s list of favorite places. Don’t like arts and crafts? Don’t worry - we’ll list the address on every DevWire message.
