SteveB speaks, my rep and I listen...
When a technical visionary like Steve Ballmer talks, my rep and I listen and hang on every word. We usually take the full context of the speech and mine it for nuggets of information. We take a similar approach as Wall Street analysts interpreting Alan Greenspan's remarks before Congress. Ballmer is arguably more important than Greenspan. My rep and I met for breakfast this morning at TechEd and came up with reasons why: 1) Windows has more direct control over the world economy 2) Ballmer has a Harvard education 3) Microsoft has the ability to move markets with key releases like Longhorn. My rep and I are off to TechEd now. I will report back soon.
