I enjoyed this presentation (30 minutes) and you probably will as well. Find 1/2 hour, it's worth it.

I wrote up an interesting blog post at lunch today but I'm unsure if I'll post it. The post isn't offensive - but it's bound to upset some people. However the people whom it might upset probably 'had it coming' so I don't actually feel bad. I'm debating if I should show the post to marketing (they will either love it or they will freak out). Either response doesn't work for me.

In the interim a little self censorship never hurt. It's why I wear pants.

The MVPS have been and gone. I didn't spend too much time with them because I had family in town which limited my schedule.

Jim has a good write up here. The two hours of suggestion bugs (note we call every issue and suggestion a bug for purposes of tracking) are all my plate for the moment. Tomorrow I'll find some time to de-duplicate them with the rest of the suggestion pile, add additional details, write up repro steps where appropriate and then farm them out to their respective feature owners. We are pretty strict around how these bugs/items are managed: you can't ignore them once opened and you can't arbitrarily close them. It's a good way to ensure that nothing 'falls through the cracks'.

Virtualization is now supported. Sorry I didn't blog this earlier but my mind was deeply engaged with the next version.
