Mark February 27th, 2008 on your Calendars

image The rumour mill is flying again this week, as Microsoft is set to announce something big on February 27th, 2008.

Nobody really knows what is going to happen, but the blogs are a buzzing. 

Will Silverlight 2.0 be introduced and go live?  Whatever it is, it makes for interesting stories for people to read, and write about.  That’s what’s fun about the Internet these days.  You go to bed, and you miss all the good stuff!

What we know right now:

  1. Robert Scobble saw the demo, and he started to cry
  2. Googlers have seen it, and trembled in their pants
  3. It’s getting a lot of press on nearly every major blog, including TechCrunch
  4. Coincides with TED, and .NET Heroes Happen Here Event Launch in LA Keynoted by Steve Ballmer
  5. MIX 08 kicks off exactly one week later, an event focused around the future of web applications.

Check out http://www.opensourcehero.com/. 

Nobody knows for sure what it is however.  Some of the ideas floating around:

  1. Silverlight 2.0
  2. New Project that takes advantage of PhotoSynth Technology
  3. Some new Surface technology
  4. Silverlight Space that puts Google Maps to shame

Is it the perfect storm for Silverlight and Microsoft?  It seems like everything is being setup for it.  What will launch for sure on the 27th of course is Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Visual Studio 2008!  Although the additional Microsoft “secret” might not be a specific Silverlight announcement, my guess is whatever it is, it will run on Silverlight.  If you look at the top left of www.opensourcehero.com you will notice the “Click Here to Install Silverlight”.

One thing is for sure, February 27th, 2008 will be an exciting day for technology.  It will either be a day where the Internet is left in awe that Microsoft pulled off a huge technological advancement, or another flop in time.
