Looks like the rumors are true, PDC 2007 is being rescheduled / cancelled. With so many new products and technologies and products in the works, what is Microsoft thinking? PDC is the biggest developer event for any developer working on the Microsoft platform, PDC gets everyone excited about all the new products and technologies.

There has not been any solid official reason given as of yet which is causing a lot of speculation, some things I have thought and heard…

1) This is a key indication that one of the main products is behind – Orcas or Linq possibly.
2) Possibly that a new product yet to be announced is not completed that was going to be unveiled.
3) There are already enough events that have been taking all the developers time.

For me I think it is some combination of reasons that is the driving force. I would not at all be surprised if Orcas was behind or that they have yet another big innovation waiting behind closed doors. The last reason seems odd, too many events? This is the one I have heard from several different sources. PDC was scheduled very close to several key launches in the fall. There are many events coming up where realeases and annoucements will most likely happen.

I am curious to hear what you think…
