MVP Summit 2009 & I’m a PC
I was attending Microsoft MVP Summit 2009 in Seattle at the beginning of March. It was nice meeting all great people from around the world! I would like to thanks to Microsoft for organizing such a great event with 700 sessions, EMP party, breakfast and lunch, hotels were covered,…
I must say that Exchange team is really great! I enjoyed talking with every member of Exchange team that I meet.
During Steve Balmer’s keynote we were part of I’m a PC campaign. For sure it was fun. 🙂 Video is available from Microsoft home page.
