This is the before-final day of the PDC and I must say, the most interesting pieces of technology to me are Azure, Dublin and Oslo.
So this session was the more practical Dublin one. How do you use it, and what does it do.

So where does Dublin fit in?

And if we take a close look at Dublin itself?

Dublin extends IIS. You get new functionality there, where you can watch persisted instances of your service. Or look at the tracking data.
Dublin gives you Visual Studio templates for WF and WCF, so creating services using Dublin will be very easy.
Dublin allows you to Import and Export service applications within IIS!
Dublin will provide a “Model Deployment To Dublin” feature for Quadrant
Dublin will provide powershell commands
Dublin will provide tracking, monitoring, discovery out of the box

Also new is the forwarding service. It forwards messages based on filters (this can be content based rules!!) to different endpoints. So how cool is that? Just relay your message to different services without the service consumer ever notice?!

The overall message of this session : It Just Works
