I saw Bill G at Convergence 2006 (I missed the 2005 show) and he didn't wow me. Steve Balmer's performance today was fantastic. He was pouring some serious Kool Aid and we were drinking it.
Seriously, he was a great speaker with lots of enthusiasm and he handled audience questions really well. He "got" people's frustrations.
He deftly step around the roadmap and this was the most confusing conference from that stand point. I'll give that a separate post to separate it from Steve's nice remarks.
Hey Steve, you ready to be on the GP Rocks podcast?
