Did Hell Freeze Over? Are Pigs Flying?
Both could be true! Yesterday, I attended an MSDN event here in SLC. The speaker was an MS employee. About half-way through, he fired up Linux. Yes, you got that right...Linux at an official Microsoft event!
OK...perhaps a bit more explanation is in order. The presenter was showing off web services in Visual Studio 2005 and demonstrated how .Net web services can be consumed by non-Microsoft clients.
What I was really there for was the SQL Server 2005 stuff, and I came away rather disappointed. The session was called, "Universal Data Access in SQL Server 2005", but it was really, "Using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services".
