I've spent the last couple of days in Denver at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference and outside the conference centre there was a big blue monster.

Slightly different from Steve Clayton's version.

On the subject of "Change the world or go home" I was one of about 15 global agencies that had lunch with Kevin Turner, COO and Alison Watson, Corporate Vice President Worldwide Partner group today where we talked about Silverlight and the Expressions suite of products.  It was good to hear that we're not alone in having challenges with how we get the most out of these products going forward. But even better to hear Microsoft's commitment to these products, the capabilities that they offer us as an agency and for the senior management at Microsoft to take the feedback we all provided seriously.  Hopefully we will see more progress in this area soon, specifically how Microsoft work with the design community.
