Microsoft Professional Developers Conference 2005 Virtual Pressroom: Industry Partners

"We believe ZAM 3D, our new 3D XAML tool, and Windows Presentation Foundation will drive the differentiation of next-generation applications with rich and engaging UI experiences never before possible. We are excited to offer developers and designers the ability to build 3-D interface controls using Windows Presentation Foundation’s 3-D engine."
- Mike Soucie, CEO of Electric Rain Inc.

"Windows Presentation Foundation creates a tremendous opportunity for Infragistics to provide developers with a complete set of next- generation presentation layer development tools. As the user experience becomes increasingly important, we’ll further enable developers to give their end users a consistent and manageable experience when delivering a rich media interface using the power of Windows Presentation Foundation."
- Adam Jaffe, director of marketing at Infragistics Inc.

"The deep integration between Altova XMLSpy and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is a tremendous boon for developers. From directly within Visual Studio, they can easily take advantage of the advanced functionality of XMLSpy to build powerful XML-based applications. We expect that the added support for XML in both Visual Studio 2005 and Office "12" will spur even more interest in XML throughout the market, and demand for comprehensive development tools like ours will be greater than ever."
- Tim Hale, director of Marketing for Altova Inc.

"Microsoft technologies are a critical element of Unisys Corp.’s 3D Visible Enterprise solutions. A key component of the 3D-VE framework is the recently developed Unisys Rules Modeler, which takes advantage of Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 Team System to provide rapid, effective and efficient generation of .NET Framework-based applications. Rules Modeler is a business rule management system, utilizing Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Office for rule capture, simulation, application generation and managed deployment into .NET and SQL Server environments."
- Ali Shadman, vice president and general manager, Innovative Programs Business, Unisys
