As part of our ongoing SDL efforts, we are hosting a 2.5 day event here in Redmond for our OEM partners – over 50 senior technical experts from the biggest names in the computer industry. Out of respect for our partners I won’t name names, but the “usual suspects” are in attendance.  There was also representation from the chipset manufacturers and hardware component suppliers to the OEMs.  The discussions are technical and to their credit, the participating companies sent their “A teams” to learn about the SDL process and how they can use it within their organizations.
