从微软MIX 2007软体盛会看未来

      

   微软最近一场重要盛会MIX 2007将于4/30日～5/2月举行，从这可以窥见.NET技术的一些未来（6～10个月内）

 

   谈MIX 2007有什么作用？难不成祭司要去参加，还是鼓励大家参加？呵～都不是，答案是”预测未来”！哦～祭司也喜欢算命呀，预测未来，而.NET的未来技术要如何预测？看MIX 2007就可以预见一些端倪，我看了看Session主题与说明，也许对许多人而言是很新的，在Develope有关部分并没有什么重大突破，最红了不起就是ASP.NET AJAX、WPF+WPF/E、Expression这组所组合出来的新一代技术，这些其实我都玩过，ASP.NET AJAX在大家耳朵里早就快听到烂掉了，WPF我都看过至少 3本英文书了，也主讲过两场研讨会，所以基本上难不倒我的。

 

 

 

　　不过倒不是要贬低ASP.NET AJAX、WPF+WPF/E、Expression这些新技术，或吐槽它们了无新意，而项庄舞剑，意在沛公，谁是沛公？就是Orcas！只有Orcas出来才能够好好整合所有新技术，新的修补，而非现在现.NET 3.0要装一堆CTP，还得懂一大堆注意事项，然后现在又来个Window Vista，光在上面灌个VS 2005和相关.NET 2.0 & .NET 3.0问题就多到令人怯步。

 

　　如果你是专家或高手，有在玩这些新技术，要修补或更改技术细节让系统Work可能你还是有办法，只是花时间多少而已，但对于一般人呢？可能就问题重重了，连我对这种现象都有点倦了，一堆CTP，然后又来个Vista，还要一堆注意事项，又一堆软体不能跑，所以期待Visual Studio Orcas的心情可想而知。而在这场MIX07连个Orcas鬼影都没有的话，代表好消息与坏消息，好消息是大家不必这么早面对Visual Studio Orcas世代交替，坏消息是你必须再苦等一段很长的时间，才有可能会有Orcas消息，再来就是等美国微软的PDC 2007，看看会不会有Orcas进一步的消息啰！

 

 

注：ASP.NET AJAX、WPF+WPF/E、Expression到2008年仍会是最强的主流！
