This morning I went all the way to LA to attend to the Microsoft Launch 2008 in LA. Where after a great presentation from Steve Ballmer on Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft SQL 2008 and Microsoft Server 2008, we were showered on marketing gifts and t-shirts.

The setup was awesome, you can find a room fool of double screen computers with the new software installed for you to play with. Never seen that many computers in one room. Thanks to Server 2008 vitalization that IT set up had to go smother, otherwise image to set up each computer with one image.

ESRI was a Gold Sponsor on the Microsoft 2008 Launch.

The presentations and the stories were simple and fast, there wasn't a dull moment, however the sessions after lunch were packed of people or they had a very long line to get in. Guessing the were more developers than any other kind of geek, as the room "404" (great name by the way) was the busiest, I missed Brad Abrams presentation that I was looking forward to.

Even that, I catch a few people I wanted to see and I talked to the experts about Server 2008 and SQL 2008. I feel I missed a few things.
Time to open the DVDs and install the freebies.
Cheers
