PDC Day 2
Went to a couple nuts and bolts presentations - one about packaging and deploying ASP.NET applications (looks better, but is apparently still has room to grow) and one about the architecture and scalability and support levels for cloud computing.
Many years ago, a former coworker (who had worked at MS) described working at Microsoft as being part of a giant herd of wildebeasts. He said when the decision was made to change direction, the sheer momentum of people pushing in the same direction was awesome. I'm definitely seeing this here with regards to cloud computing. It really is the next big thing from MS - it's eclipsing just about everything else here, including Windows 7.
