It begins!
Just got through with the first PDC keynote a short while ago. Since then I played with a Surface computer and met Larry Osterman. At the Surface machine I was given a little card to take around to all the Surface machines in the convention center for a Scavenger Hunt game. Basically you set the card down on the Surface table and a ring appears around it with about 10 images. Then you drag matching images from the virtual tabletop to your card in order to “collect” them. Each table has 2 of the images you need (and about a dozen you don’t but that other people do). Apparently there’s a T-shirt in it for me if I fill up my card.
The keynote was really interesting. I was aware of some of the work going on, but it was great to see it all tied together and to see how impressive the vision for Azure really is.
