Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key blog productfair

Ahh, summertime. Summer in Seattle is definitely one of my favorite times of year,Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, and with it, comes some of my favorite outdoor activities. Boating, camping, and yes, the Microsoft Product Fair . I have to say, there’s nothing like returning from a week-long vacation to the sight of a giant ferris wheel, trampoline, and rock climbing wall being erected in the middle of our soccer fields! Having pretty much just returned from my vacation (and having missed last year’s fair), I decided a few more hours couldn’t hurt and took some time to check out this year’s Product Fair in more detail. What I found was pretty darn interesting. At its most basic level, the Product Fair is a huge demo event with 100s of stations set up to showcase work the development teams have been doing the past year. Lots of it I can’t detail too much due to non-disclosures and the like, though I will say it really made me proud for the company. It was a great glimpse into what product teams have been working on this past year, and I had a lot of fun seeing all of the exciting demos. I had a tough time deciding favorites, although I did enjoy myself at the MSN Entertainment, Search, and Xbox tents in particular. The fair is also a great relaxation event and opportunity to mingle and network with fellow ‘softies. In addition to the standard-faire (pun intended) amenities mentioned earlier, there were also plenty of snacks, Microsoft schwag, and yes – even a beer garden! Check it out – this year’s beer garden was event sponsored by Microsoft Recruiting! Microspotting has more pictures of the event, including some cool View<myWorld> themed employee shots. I wonder if I can convince someone (ahem, Gretchen?) to give me an “I am the Empire” shirt. -Kenji
