Lunch was wild--how do you feed 11,000 people in a short amount of time? Well, the lunch room was huge, maybe 4 football fields large. They had about 20 different buffet lines, so you could 'parallel process' and get your food quick. The food itself was pretty good, too.
After munching, I made my way to the vender exhibits for a swag-fest...er, considered look at the various product offerings. (Ooo! Blinky lights!). You tend to get free stuff in exchange for letting them scan your badge barcode. So I'll be getting multimedia spam for a while after the conference (phone, email, mail).
Then I went to an intro session on Smart Clients. Good stuff, compelling demos. It looks like Smart Clients are much easier to do in VS 2005 than they were in VS 2003.
