Well today we delivered our session on Virtual Earth.  We had over 300 people registered so were in one of the massive arena rooms.  We got there really early to make sure both our lappies had internet connection and that everything was going to run.

Overall I think it went ok, considering we wrote the presentation from scratch for Tech.Ed i.e. it wasn't a re-hashed deck from the US or another presentation.  We had a few little issues like not being able to read the screen to see where we were up to on the slides so ended up jumping around a bit and had a javascript error on one of our demos that a refresh fixed. Luckily the demo gods were with us as we maintained internet connection and all the demos ran..which is always good when you're presenting live services content...pretty much means you NEED an internet connection.

It's always hard to tell in a big crowd what people are thinking...we can't see any faces with the lights on us on stage.  I guess one good indicator for us was there was at least a dozen really good questions at the end which means there's more and more interest in the topic.  We got some varying feedback...some people really loved the session, and liked seeing the extra integration with other live services, others found it a bit boring.
