The Big Day : MGB Atlanta 2005

How can I describe this day? It's hard, as I am a bit tired, but I'll just write what comes out, stream of consciousness style....

12 Hour in the Georgia Dome

Presentations from all the senior VPs

Spanking Demos of upcoming products, such as "Office 12", Windows Longhorn (soon to have real name), IE7, XBOX 360, Windows Media Center, new MSN Messenger, MSN Search, MSN Spaces, MSN Hotmail, MS CRM 3.0, Windows Mobile 5.0, sneak preview of new mobile devices, some out there work that is being done by MSR and heaps of other demos that I can't remember.

To be honest, I can't wait to get my hands on "Office 12" and Longhorn.

Guest appearance from Michael Johnson and the talented all-female classical quarter Bond

Inspiring stuff from Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, and the other execs.

And then to cap it all off, a party hosted by D&PE at The Compound, featuring Helles Bells, an all girl AC/DC tribute band

Time to sleep - we start again in 6 hours
