Ugh. I have nothing to do with marketing, but I feel it’s my responsibility as a Microsoft employee to say "Im sorry" for the freaking awful PDC 05 ‘Developer Powered‘ site. Let me ask the developers who read this blog this: do you really want to "deck out your shizzle with this PDC bling?"
At least it has an RSS feed. Sheesh.

I can see it now: “Windowz in da Hood”.

Yo! Shizzle my nizzle. Why you gotta go there? This is the *mad* bling, wazzup?! Dude gotta live large, like Michael Bolton on ‘Office Space’ - word!

Holy crap.
I hadn’t been to look, but…oh my. That’s terrible.
It’s ironic isn’t it that an MS developer event, which is pretty much going to be all about .net and longhorn bits, it’s written in flash and links to pdf documents?
Bah. If this was my only info about PDC, I would _not_ want to go.

I didn’t think it was bad - kind of amusing, actually. You get the feeling that the ad creator is a bit of a free spirit - check out the easter egg on the ‘convince the boss’ page. (hint: shake the tree and see what falls out…)
