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.

Service as in SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)???
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???
