I went to the 2008 Crunchies Ceremony, sponsored by TechCrunch last Friday in San Francisco. It was the second year for the awards and was packed with over 900 attendees. It turned out to be a good night for Windows Live as Windows Live Mesh won the “Best Technology Innovation/Achievment” and Ray Ozzie was there to accept the award. Here’s a link to some pictures from the event.
See my post back in April 2008 to learn more about Mesh with some good resource links.
Here is some of the press buzz:
- · CNET: “Microsoft’s Live Mesh Top Innovation at the Crunchies.”
- · CNET: “Winners and Losers from the Crunchies Awards.”
- · GigaOm: “Thank You for Making the Night of Crunchies Fun.”
- · TechCrunch: “Why We Put on the Crunchies.”
- · TechCrunch: “Congratulations to the Crunchies Winners.”
- · VentureBeat: “Winners of the 2008 Crunchies.”
- · ZDNet: “The Crunchies 2009”
We are quickly approaching Bill Gates last days at Microsoft. After the end of this month, Bill Gates is moving into full time philanthropy work at his foundation.
What an amazing life he has had, and what an amazing impact he has made, and continues to make!
Newsweek has an interesting piece this week on “Microsoft After Gates. (And Bill After Microsoft).
You will also find a great interview at Channel 9 on Bill Gates: Transitioning into the Future. Gates talks about his own decisions, the future of Think Week (FYI – BillG commented on a Think Week Paper my colleagues and I worked on; all I can say is WOW…factory), Quests and the role of Chief Software Architect (CSA). He happens to also mention that Ray Ozzie will be speaking at PDC (this fall) about services in the cloud and stuff they’ve been working on for 3 years. He also discuss Windows 7 as it relates to cloud computing. Interesting insights…
And in case you never watched the funny Microsoft video spoof about Bill Gates Last Days here it is on YouTube.
An interesting time for Microsoft…and its founder.
All the best to you BillG!
