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.
