Keynote Address

Lots of promises, a few interesting surprises. Nice guest appearance Chloe, '24' (Mary Lynn Rajskub) .

The main thing I found of note in the keynote was Microsoft recently bought a large chunk of land between the Tri-Cities and Grand Coulie Dam. They plan to use this land as datacenter territory to start a large service farm.

They were heavily pushing the Service idea throughout the keynote. There were several new product announcements as well, I will try to get more info on them and then post it.

Yes, although they are pushing it much further than that. They are talking large enterprise application oursourcing/hosting like Exchange.

Wow... That is interesting...

I wonder what the $$$ would work out to be for an organization to shift their hosting like that???
