Hello,

Got your travel plans dialed in for summer? We do! Not only will the the
UG team be headed to TechEd in Orlando, we'll also be attending TechEd
Europe in Amsterdam this month. If you're attending either event, make
sure you let us know.  And have you downloaded the Windows 8 Release
Preview? This week we'd like to offer you a preview of Charles Petzold's
new book "Programming Windows, 6th Edition" in ebook form (the print
version will be out in November this year.) Tell us your oreilly.com
account and we'll give you a copy.

Cheers,

--Marsee Henon & Jon Johns
