Silverlight and Expression and Bears, oh my!
I just watched some of the coolest demos I've seen in a while. Ray Ozzie gave the opening keynote address for Mix 07. I hate to say it but he stated nothing more than the obvious direction of technology, IMHO. Ray's address was quickly followed by Scott Guthrie who received a very warm greeting -- and rightly so! Scott was there to deliver the goodies which were also received very warmly. There were plenty of announcements about Silverlight and the driection we are headed there. The big impressive thing we announced was our cross-platform CLR support and the integration of .NET into Silverlight as a programming model. I loved watching the demo's of using Expression to create the user experience and Visual Studio to provide the remote debugging support -- on a Mac none-the-less!

Heading to Mix
In just a few short hours, I'll be heading to Las Vegas to attend Mix 07. I'm not sure what to expect but I'm very excited to see our customers in person. I'm probably one of the few who doesn't really enjoy Vegas. However, this time will be different because I'll have the conference to go to. (I'm just wondering if my 18-year-old version of myself is shaking his head at that last statement). In any case, if you are heading to Mix and want to get together to talk about IIS 7, ping me and I'll do my best to find you.
