PDC, Day 2 Pre Keynote

I’m here at 7:30 AM waiting for the keynote. The breakfast was much better than yesterday. They also surprised me opening up another section for people to eat. (The other side of the hall). So I am wrong, there are more people here than I thought. I’ve based this on in the past by the size of the eating area. It has to hold everyone at one time. Good I have hope again for the industry.

It should be interesting on what they are going to show at the keynote. Based on conversations at our pre conference session yesterday, there was alot of things in Office 12 that they could not talk about until after the keynote. I have a feeling based on my questions about Avalon, they are intergrating it into Office 12. It also seems that Sharepoint will play an even bigger role with the servers and the office products. I like Sharepoint, but it still has a long way to go to being an awesome product.

Time will tell!!

BTW I am writing this blog in IE 7.0 on Windows Vista in the labs. I am not impressed by how SLOWWWWW the browser is. Even typing this blog, its having a hard time keeping up with my typing. But then again this could be a cytrix version of the OS. Did I ever tell you how much I think Cytrix sucks!
