Microsoft is having WorldWide Partner's Conference which started today. I had been watching the online streaming version – thanks to the Siverlight streaming technology and will be posting some info about it. You can also follow me on twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/prabirshrestha.

Summary of the keynote. (I missed a lot of Win7 stuffs on the keynote)

  1. 51 Million license sold for windows 7
  2. Office outlook crashed during the demo session. Its still in Technical preview. (Now I know why).
  3. Great twitter integration with dynamics crm. You can ask questions through twitter and people can answer. Good for customer relations.
