Lemme just say that my first 7 years in business, I was completely Mac and loved it!!! Then I spent the next 4 years promoting Java. Bottom line is that the world is big enough for all. :D

hahaha! I honestly didn't get any real "time" with these guys, but did have dinner with Jeff Raikes who sat at our table. He's the President of the Office division. No dish to offer, just know that MS is going after "Software + Services" in a big, big way. Services as in online services. We also saw Gates demo the Surface Table. Holy Snikeys, that thing is seriously going to change perception of the UI as we know it. amazing Star Wars / Star Trek stuff there....

i'm the good looking guy in the middle getting the CEO / COO Squeeze!!! :D
