Grant, Nothing would rock my boat more than to have that, but that would turn that into a WebDU :) At this point, time is something I just don't have, at best to get a session under way for just the "show & tell" under one night, is quite a leap.
If Microsoftee's wanted to get more perspective on the matter of Adobians camp (heh) then its fair to say that WebDU would be that place, and i'd rather work with the Daemon guys then against them to make this happen. I had high hopes for WebDU this year being that forum, but since the invite isn't there, I thought this at least may an alternative for folks to see the parts of the conference they would of missed. That being said, the developers within the ASP.NET ranks do play with FLASH/FLEX (Remoting) etc, so it wouldn't be a conflict of interest (sure, nothing would please the Microsoft share price if you all abandened Adobe and ran with us, but in reality - i've said this before - that just won't happen). We are still organsing TechEd 07 (Australia) so if you have any suggestions for how technologies like CF/.NET could play a role in the world of Microsoft Community, send them through as we are still organising sessions for it (The Australian version isn't a conference where you have to show off your MS decoder ring to participate, its open ended, provided its relevant to the attendee's whom attend - ie walking into a conference like that and preeching the gospel of how OSX rox vs Vista obviously would have negative effects given majority of the attendee's rely on Windows Platforms for their bread and butter - so within reason).
