Today was a day of many meetings at the Orange County Convention center.  I met some people from some newsgroups that I have previously known only through posting.  Steve Ballmer is really an excellent speaker, I have not seen him before but was duly impressed.  Before the keynote was over I had ran into Eric Michel, Gerry Heidenreich and Scott Isaacs.

The first session I attended was an architecture talk concerning some best practices for Office system solutions, this turned out to be a yawner.  A later session was an intro to Info Path which was a little more interesting.  The best parts of the day were talking to various people in Microsoft booths.  I'm looking forward to tomorrow's sessions much more.
