The leaders have put together for the very first time, topics that were heavily requested by our communities. If this is successful, you can look forward to more of such ‘Technology Updates’ in the upcoming months. So, make a date with us! We hope to meet and get to know you on 27th June 2009.

As a treasured member of Microsoft’s technical communities, you are invited to join us in this first ever held round of major gathering, Community Technology Update in Kuching, Malaysia. The event is about sharing and bringing together like minded folks like you together and helping to drive community awareness and event.

The brainchild and initiative of 4 Musketeers (Chan Ming Man, Patrick Yong; Jabez Gan and Walter Wong) and run by the Kuching community and for the community, this half day ‘devInTown‘ affair will uncover the cool and latest technologies surrounding , Windows Presentation Foundation, LINQ and Windows 7 - delivered by our very own Microsoft MVPs.

After 3 years of absence in Kuala Lumpur, TechNET MSDN Technology Summit is back! This event will be taking place in Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (Malaysia) on the 15th January 2009.

For the very first time, we’ll showing a 2 hour Microsoft client and server platform demo-relay and *drum roll* a sneak preview of Windows 7!

Go to www.microsoft.com/malaysia/events/technetmsdn/ to reserve a seat. Please note that agenda(especially keynote) in the website is not updated, we’ll have the website updated with finalized topics by end of this week.

While browsing on the web can really help a lot in being up to date on the latest computer peripherals and gadgets in the technology world, you may also want to check out the events sponsored by the big names in the PC industry who normally participate or sponsor technology expos to showcase their new products.

Through the years, companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Dell have been aggressive in showing off their new technology breakthroughs and apparently most of these are not yet even in the market. Also, critics and reviewers get their information from these events so why bother to wait when you can get a glimpse of them firsthand?

Further, you can also be the first to note when these new contraptions would be released in the market. Check out the features and perhaps a quotation so that you have and idea of how much you have to spend to get one once you are entirely tempted to do so.

Lastly, these events hold raffles and if you are lucky, you may even bring home the latest PC or technology gadget home with you. So rather than worry about the cost of getting one, bringing home a freebie PC or hardware that you can use just by attending them is truly a rewarding experience.

If you get an invitation to these computer expos, by all means go and check it out. You are going to see a lot of new stuff for your computer needs and perhaps get a bonus if you are luck in raffles or giveaways.
