The WHIR team recently had the pleasure of attending Microsoft's fourth annual Hosting Summit in Seattle, WA (which, for the record, is breath-takingly gorgeous and seems to have a unique balance between man and nature, and I could go on and on, but I digress). Hopefully you followed the ever-eloquent Liam Eagle in his live coverage of the event and checked out some of the photos from the summit on our Flickr site.
Lucky for us, after the summit we had the opportunity to explore Microsoft's campus in Redmond (we saw the executive offices that Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer work in AND played in Microsoft's museum) and took a moment to chat to a familiar guest on WHIRtv, Michael van Dijken, Microsoft's lead marketing manager for hosted services. Michael had some enlightening things to say regarding the direction Microsoft is taking with its partners through these events.
In the coming week we'll be bringing you some of the attendee feedback we collected from the event, and let me just say that the openness and willingness from Microsoft's partners to share their thoughts and opinions was rather impressive.
I also wanted to bring to your attention that WHIRtv is now available through iTunes so if you want these videos conveniently delivered to you every time we post a new one, be sure to subscribe here.
