Day one consisted basically of a interesting (all be it long) keynote from BillG and Jim Alchin, some booth duty and a couple of sessions. Office 12 was formally shown and Atlas (MSFT's AJAX implementation) was touted, along with the usualy Longhorn suspects (Indigo and Avalon). Also, Don Box lead a code lap with ScottGu, Anders and Chris Anderson showing how you can hook up a simple app using Indigo, Avalon and ASP.NET (using Atlas). Interesting and fun to see them writing the app pretty much on the fly.
Also, it was nice to see the Infragistics name flashing on the pre-keynote sponsor slides.
Tonight is the vendor fair so I will be pulling booth duty until late, then its off to the influencers party.
