MS Expert Zone Featured Community Summit Pics

[Ryan Hoffman]

I'm at the MS Expert Zone Featured Community Summit 2004, and I'm taking pictures of all the cool stuff they are showing us. I believe there are two reps from Neowin.net, and I'm representing Bink.nu.

I'm uploading the pics basically right after I take them, so check back for new pics ;-).

Nice!

Thanks for the pictures, looking thru them all now! :D

Hehe, those old software boxes are neat to look at :D

Yeah, that was the Microsoft Museum section. I just uploaded two pics from the MSN Music presentation, and we all got 10 free song downloads :-).

Next, we're going to the Microsoft Home of the Future, then to the Microsoft Company Store, Microsoft Office of the Future, 727 Pine (Restarunt for dinner), and then to Gameworks (a little fun gaming :ninja:)

Neobond and Redmak are there. I think I see them in one of the pictures but I can't tell for sure.

[Ryan Hoffman]

I really want to talk to neobond and Redmak, but I haven't gotten the opportunity to really say anything to them. I'm becomming good friends with some of the Tablet PC and Windows Mobile/Embedded MVPs that are here :-).

We saw some great stuff today that, unfortionatly, is NDA and I was unable to take pictures of.

Oh, and the trip to the Microsoft Store was fun.. it was like 20 kids in candy stores ;-).

Did you like the shop, I passed up the opportunity to buy Xp/Office 2003 for $30 each, been kicking myself ever since :(

[Ryan Hoffman]

I LOVED the shop. I picked up an XBox Media Center Extender for $70, an XBox Live Headset for $20, and two ($50/ea) games for $15/ea.

Oh, and not to mention before we went to dinner last night, they supprised us all with free Creative Zen Micro's... ooooh they are so nice ;-) (bye bye iPod :cool:)

How do you get to those conferences? A bit off topic I know but I finish school next year in the Summer and was just thinking about career possibilities n'stuff. Which one is this summit about? 'cause I know there's the CeBIT conference and a few others and I get confused.

:blink:

[tomwarren Veteran]

The conference is invite only and for Windows Expert Zone Community site owners. In our case Neobond/Redmak are representing Neowin :)

[L3thal Veteran]

[G4M3R]

Great pictures, would be good to go to something like that

[Ryan Hoffman]

Okay, uploaded pics from yesturday. Also added a pic of Neobond & Redmak having dinner on Day1.

I'd be happy to report that at that dinner, we talked about moving Neowin to ASP.NET :happy: They see the benefits, but don't worry, I don't think I convinced them enough to really do it :-P. Oh, and I didn't get to see any Neowin 4.0 designs :-P (but I like 3.9 just fine :D)
