Microsoft TechEd 2004 presentations

by Volker Weber

Luis has alerted me of the fact that Microsoft has published a website with most of the TechEd 2004 presentations.

In typical Redmond fashion it only runs on Internet Explorer on Windows and Netscape 7 (wtf is that?). It says it will also run on the Mac, which isn't true. Let me put in some tags, because nobody gets sarcasm without: <sarcasm> Now this is a very demanding act: A directory of presentations created in PowerPoint where you can download the PPT files or look at them online as HTML. This is really, really hard to do without depending on a particular type of browser. But there is some excellent developers out there who can tackle the task with cutting edge technology only available in the world's most advanced browsers. </sarcasm>

Netscape 7 is the version of Netscape that's fed by Mozilla. Periodically, they fork off a Mozilla release and they mess with it a bit and it becomes Netscape 7.x+1.

I guess you needed one more sarcasm tag, vowe ;)

The presentations seem to be offline...

BTW, why not download the .ppt files and load them into Keynote or OpenOffice? The office HTML output looks ugly in most cases, anyway.
