MIX07 - A private Silverlight demo from ScottGu

The situation was grim. I was sitting in a hotel bar at MIX07 with Jeff Atwood, Miguel de Icaza, Phil Haack, and Rob Conery (pictured left to right). The conversation had slowed. Miguel was telling Rob why he should floss. Phil was humming showtunes. Jeff was trying harness telekinetic powers to levitate his beer. See for yourself:

Then Scott Guthrie and Beau Ambur (one of the keynote presenters) walked by. Next thing you know, Scott's showing off Silverlight 1.1. He wrote a quick demo application on the fly to demonstrate the .NET API support. Here he is answering Miguel's questions:

That's why MIX is not your average conference.
