New Microsoft Partner Competency is coming for custom development shops!
Many companies are deeply embedded in pure Microsoft development (such as thycotic) but do not necessarily use any of the Microsoft server products (MS CMS, BizTalk, SharePoint) in their solutions. These shops are typically building applications using custom WinForm/ASP.NET, C#/VB.NET and a Microsoft SQL Server back end. This makes the Integrated E-Business Solutions competency impossible to attain and most of the others are not a good match either. Another option sounds like the ISV competency but this doesn't always fit either ... do you build a product to sell that can be tested? Often times the "product" is custom software that you don't own and can't share with anyone.

LINQ definitely seems to be the new announcement at PDC with lots of buzz and people talking about it.

PDC 2005 - Day One Review
The keynote was interesting, exciting and exhausting! The technology innovations and overall coolness just ran on for ages and became draining. It was also a first opportunity for me to see billg speak for the first time which was an experience. He had far less presence than I would have expected for a man of such remarkable success but was still an entertaining and highly informative speaker.
