This morning we have a chance to join for the first time conference organized by Microsoft. This conference was about to present the new released 2008’s; Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft Server 2008 and SQL 2008.

Although the main meeting delayed two-hour longer than the time printed in the invitation card and I felt quite disappointed because of some guest service, after that I am really satisfied by the two significant artful keynotes presents by Kevin Turner, so-called the third guy of Microsoft, and Chris Sharp- Asia Pacific Microsoft representative.

At 10 o’clock, commencing by the very wonderful dance, Kevin Turner exploded out from the back of the stage. He was there just to celebrate the open ceremony and to generally present the 2008’s. Since the conference’ s title today is “Heroes happen here”, he also introduced us a Vietnamese guy, Trinh Cong Thanh whose leg was amputated in cause to cancer as an example of one Hero. He said although Mr. Thanh was disable, he was a successful man who managed to use Microsoft tech ( Function for disable ) to benefit his business. He was an hero. Everybody in IT are Heroes. so am I ;).

Everything was detailed by Christ Sharp with his two Vietnamese (Mr. Que and Mr. Hai) and 1 Singaporean colleague, Stellen. They points us some demos. For instance: the powerful cluster technology in Server 2008 by which we can save much a mount of money. We just have to buy one software license for ex: MS office then it can be used by many others PC in the same network; which means the program executed in the server but it gives the graphical interface for the others to use remotely. (Presented by Que). Mr. Hai showed us the new technology of Microsoft; Silverlight and some tools related with Web developing and designing while the main demo of Stellen is to introduce the Microsoft sharepoint.
