Glorious day to be alive...
This has to be the best thing since sliced bread. The barriers of communications will come crashing down as the Live Era of computing takes off. Ignorant companies like Google and Yahoo will soon realize the power of Microsoft applications and frameworks. I have summoned my MCSEs and MCSDs to our conference room after hours to hear my "State of the Union" speech where I will endorse the Live Era 110%. My rep will be standing by and will provide free pizza to these folks to cajole them into staying late. He gets a deal, 10 for $50. Then he and I will go out to Daniel's Broiler and discuss the licensing fees associated with the Live Web APIs. I told my executive team this morning to expect a huge bill. I told them they will pay it or else. When one asked if I would quit, I told them to "know their role and shut their collective mouths".
