Excellent stuff!! I popped along to this event yesterday in Reading. It was all very last minute for me as someone else was supposed to be going instead of me.
The day itself consisted of four main sessions, each followed by a quick 'how-to' session for Office 2007. Basic summary of what was covered is: LINQ and .Net language enhancements, AJAX, XAML, Data Advances in VS 'Orcas' and Windows Live.
By far, I was most interested in the LINQ and language parts, which also tied in very nicely with the Data Advances in VS 'Orcas' session. So much so, that I'm currently installing Orcas on my laptop as I type (I do hope I doesn't fry it!). The first session was presented by a guy called Daniel Moth, great session and a nicely enthusiastic guy. It was really good to see complex bits of cod cut down to a single line.
You can go to the link below to find more information and get the slides of the topics covered:

It looks like there is some really good stuff about to/coming out of Microsoft at the moment. It’s something to watch. I'll post up any cool things I find in Orcas (there will probably be a few).
