Closing keynotes from the MVP Summit

Microsoft has posted the text from the closing keynotes of this year's MVP Summit.

  • Ray Ozzie spoke first. It's the first time I've heard him speak...he's more like Bill Gates than Steve B when it comes to presentation.
  • Steve Ballmer spoke second (or last, depending on how you look at it). Steve has an amazing amount of energy and has a lot of fun, and it shows. What the text can't show you is Steve putting on the Canadian jersey (the Canadian MVPs all wore bright red hockey jerseys, and gave one to him) and then the Simpsons' necktie. (He never put the cape on.) It also doesn't mention the number of hands that were raised when he asked how many people used Live Search (not many), Yahoo Search (one or two), and Google (everyone else). This, of course, led to his comment on the offer to Yahoo ;-)

Unlike previous summits, we received non-NDA information on some of the web-based things that Microsoft is working on. I'll have URLs for you soon :-)
