A Most Difficult Presentation

Over the past 10 years, I have given several hundred presentations on many different topics, to crowds ranging from a handful to well over a thousand.   But one of last week's presentations at the Microsoft Executive ISV  Briefing was in many ways the most challenging to prepare.  I was tasked with presenting VS 2005, in only 30 minutes, to CEOs !  I need at least a day to really do justice to VS 2005 / Framework 2.0, but I think I hit the highlights and focussed more on the business benefits that the coding shortcuts - so nobody walked out in the middle.   Being able to speak very quickly didn't  hurt either...
