All these chats will be moderated by Ed Hickey. To get more information about these chats, or to add a reminder about the chat to your calendar, please go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats/

I’m always on the lookout for new topics to have chats on. For example, one of our customers asked if we could have a chat on DirectX 9.0, and it’s been one of our most popular chats this year. So, if there’s something you’d like to have us chat about, let me know by leaving me a comment here. Thanks!
