clip_image002Quietly, we released the beta of the “Microsoft Desktop Player” the other day.

The player delivers contextual technical content (webcasts, podcasts, whitepapers) aggregated across Microsoft assets that are relevant to the IT Pro adoption lifecycle. In addition, it also provides links to  local resources and news for the Developers and IT Pros based on their local settings.

Simply enter in your ZIP code and look to see what sort of Microsoft events, Microsoft Technology user groups, and Microsoft Training Centers are local to you.

Some interesting features include:

  • Offline and Online Player
  • Contextual relevant content surfaced  depending on IT Adoption Lifecycle by selecting the right filters.
  • Local IT Evangelist and Developer Evangelist connection – The player surfaces your local IT Evangelist or Developer Evangelist based on the user profile
  • MSDN and TechNet Events integration www.msdnevents.com, www.technetevents.com
