I am spending much of the week at Microsoft Research’s annual TechFest, which is proving to be an absolutely mind-blowing experience. So much, so cool, so out there….
There’s been some good press about the show already (ComputerWorld, and ITWorld for example), and the official Microsoft TechFest site has a wealth of material. The media were allowed in on the “Public Day” to report on a carefully selected subset of the projects being displayed. But I think the coverage has missed an important difference between this show and something like COMDEX or CeBIT.
