The MVPs are in town!

Today I had the pleasure of hosting the MSN Search booth at the MVP Global Summit's product expo here in Redmond. A dev on my team and I got there around 3:30 and demo'd MSN Search and the next releases of the MSN Search Toolbar and Windows Desktop Search. We were more keen to demo the WDS stuff, since that's what we both work on =)

It was great to meet so many enthusiastic members of the community. What I really mean by that is: it's fun to talk with other geeks.

Oh, and I noticed Scoble showing off Channel 9 at a nearby booth, but no other familiar faces.

Were you there? Drop a note in the comments section. Maybe I'll get a chance to crash some more MVP events tomorrow or Friday.

Are you able to publicly mention any of the new WDS features yet? And any publicly available release schedule?

I'm hoping for the ability to use DISTINCT in WDS queries, e.g. select distinct keywords from index etc.

The other thing I'm hoping for is an updated image IFilter that exposes all EXIF fields and not just a small subset of them. As opposed to having to install a 3rd party image IFilter.

Unfortunately I can't talk about any future releases at this point. As soon as I can, you can bet I will :) 9/30/2005 9:18 AM | Brandon Paddock
