And what about the last session where every thing just secured up???
They made all the lecture practice time after time but seemed to forget to practice themselves...
YOU DON'T SHOW POCKET FOR 2 SECONDS AND SNITCH IT OFF THE CAMERA JUST TO BRING IT BACK FOR TWO SECONDS MORE...
And by the way Lior Tzoref - When the XBOX turn the screen saver on the screen loose the color and THERE IS NOT NEED TO REBOOT THE XBOX !
This was defiantly the worse conference ending I've ever attended and yes I left it too in the middle…couldn’t stand it as all !
I've not made a TechEd event in a long time. However, I've heard more and more disappointing stories about TechEd conferences in the past few years. This one just takes the cake! Is this a SIGN of M$'s slow demise? Or, is it just a turn of bad service?
Wilbert - By no means, is this a sign of demise. In fact, it was a great TechEd, and I'll mention that in upcoming posts. There were screwups, like a lot of places have, but overall I've heard some good stories from many people. I just figured writing something about this will help change things for the better.
Hi there,
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
So you thought many folks were not "technical" at a conference called "TechEd"? :-) By self-reporting about 60% of the attendees are developers and about 40% are responsible for IT strategy and deployment.
The talk I gave was a less technical version of the talk I gave at the PDC and several Office conferences. I'm sorry it wasn't well-received in Eilat, but if the competition is sunshine and location then I am not sure what would have won :-)

Steve: Yeah, that last point is stretching it a bit. I agree. But as for your sunshine as a competitor idea: People already were inside that tent and *not* outside. The trick is to keep them there.
A couple weeks ago I left from the client to go to our building and see a technical presentation about new Office stuff.
The sales and marketing kinds of buisness people seem to find it really interesting, but as a developer, it was a total waste of time. I would not consider it technical. (I read the one page article that covered all of those topics long ago)
I really dont get the feeling that there are a large number of developers who are interested in Office.
Sounds like PDC where the Keynote was cleared by one man (who I won't name) pointing out the door and stating you can buy this $1K JasJAR for $150 RIGHT NOW. And then looked surprised as half the room left.
