Published Sunday, June 11, 2006 11:58 PM
  • Muglia gave basic overview of customers and their needs in the new computing environments
  • Ray Ozzie gave brief personal/client-server history centered around Boston
  • No large video intro as in the past. Just a welcome so an so … I missed this. I liked the hype and build-up to the keynote
  • One customer video
  • One Lame Vista commercial
  • Ray is then talking about the Office Live platform and how it leverages enterprise skills in moving towards a services provider world
  • Office Live is based on Sharepoint and leverages Windows Live Identity
  • MS Intends to federate the Live Identity with AD - for lightweight cross company trusts and integration
  • Bring enterprise technologies to scale out to the internet environment
  • People ready initiative also IT ready
  • Need tools don’t have to be out of control or unmanageable
  • Historically only the enterprise was within our control and it is no longer inside vs outside
  • A plethora of personal devices are being brought in to the enterprise as they find them useful
  • Need to allow for the use and protect the company
  • MaaS - management as a Service with federation fulfills this promise
  • Microsoft Forefront - c\s security solutions and products
  • Back to Bob after a cute "24" spin-off called "4."
  • Then they actually have the real girl from 24 (Chloe O'Brian?) on the show - I don’t watch it but it is apparently his computer chick from the show. And its actually pretty funny as they are lampooning all the technical BS they do on 24 from a computing perspective.
  • Chloe's Four Alternative TechEd promises:
    • Less PPT and more smoking demos
    • Fix the distribution problems with the Xbox 360
    • Stop saying "Do more with less" say "Do more with more!"
    • Promise to end the keynote on time
  • Manage complexitity - Achieve Agility
  • Knowledge driven management
  • Virtual Infrastructure
    • Application virtualization technology
    • Different versions of apps running at the same time
    • Less isolation but more granularity of control
    • Acquired Softricity
