December, 2009

We did two Project 2010 sessions at TechEd Europe – Christophe (thanks!) posted the decks on SkyDrive here as he mentioned here http://blogs.msdn.com/chrisfie/archive/2009/12/22/microsoft-project-2010-overview-powerpoint-deck.aspx

We have also shot two short videos on the 2010 news for Developers and  IT Professionals as mentioned here.

Happy holidays!
