Microsoft WPC Day 1 Wrapup

Just a quickie before I head to bed. Some interesting facts:
The MS Notes->Exchange value proposition is, well, pretty much non-existent, on its' own at least.
Biggest lie so far? 'We have countries that are now completely Notes-free'
MS have a BIG problem getting shelfware deployed to customers. So much so that MS reps are rewarded on deployment figures more than license sales
Office 2010 has some VERY cool stuff in it. Really. When the video is public, I'll blog the Office/Sharepoint/Office On-line/OCS demo video. In terms of document collaboration, it far exceeds anything anyone else has in the marketplace. Of course, you need the complete platform - but it's impressive stuff.
So, 50/50 good and bad. Oh, and MS Ireland throw a good bash (much free steak and wine). And my toe still hurts, though our friendly neighbourhood nurse thinks it might just be deep bruising and/or a spiral fracture. I'm trying to debate whether or not to bother seeing a local doc and getting Lloyds banking travel insurance to pay for it.
<Update> There are a bunch of Office 2010 videos here. The important parts, however, only work with OCS and Sharepoint. Apparently, a tech preview copy of 2010 is coming my way. So, I'll let you know what comes up. </update>
