Comment on Disappointing speakers at Australian Tech.Ed 2009 by Scott Samuels

Alex, I agree wholeheartedly. The expo at Tech.Ed was excellent for establishing contacts with Microsoft ISV’s. It was much harder though to establish contacts with fellow SharePoint portal architects and application developers/designers.

Microsoft had tables that were signposted with group names like “Premier Service Partners”, “Women in IT” (I think there were about 10 women in attendance!) and so forth but nothing at the technology level which was a shame.

I find conferences are more about who you meet and building contacts. They draw together top people from across the country into one place.

The content can be found elsewhere and after the conference.

Comment on Windows Live – Is SharePoint 2010 right under our noses? by Scott Samuels

Certainly I would agree that Microsoft’s own use of Silverlight has been quite limited, especially when it comes to their Live offerings. Perhaps this is in favor of a snappy, lightweight approach to web applications that appeal to (and can be accessed by) the masses.

Bear in mind that a lot of the time these services are accessed from shared computers or workstations that the user has no control over what applications get installed. If Silverlight was used and the plugin was not installed on the computer, the service would be rendered useless.

Don’t forget to check out Skydrive and Office Live Workspaces for SharePoint workspace-like functionality. I’m unaware of any integration with Groove. You can certainly launch SkyDrive from Live Messenger and use it to share files as opposed from directly transferring the file P2P.

This is quite an unexpected approach, but I somehow don’t see how it can reveal the newest features in SP 2010. What about, say, Silverlight integration? How’s collaboration to be revealed? Where’s SharePoint Workspace? To name just a few…
