I was recently in Redmond (Microsoft HQ), hanging out with the rest of the Microsoft Student Insiders. Microsoft was kind enough to pay for my flights, hotel, and other expenses, which was great. It really allowed me an opportunity to just enjoy what I was there for - meeting new people and checking out the next big things. I was very happy to see their Home of the Future and their very cool Envisioning Lab. They also invited me to shop at the Microsoft Employee Store, where I was happy to make a few purchases at a great price. I also met quite a few cool people while I was there, and was able to sit down and chat with a developer on Windows Phone 7, and testers for Sharepoint and Windows Server. I was quite impressed with some of the latest upcoming technology at Microsoft, and looking forward to spending more time with the rest of the Student Insiders.
