Re: Microsoft MVP SecuritySummit thread
OK, we're here: shuttles ran from the hotel to the Microsoft Conference Center, and we're gathering in the St. Helens room. There are maybe 50 MVPs snarfing down breakfast and going through our swag bags (a nice portfolio, a USB flash drive, some books) and meeting each other. There may be more Microsofties than there are MVPs.
First thing will be the keynote from Mike Nash, a VP of security, and many of us have worn "Mike Nash Blue" shirts - apparently it's some kind of thing he's known for, so many of us have played along with this little joke.
We're having sessions on spam/phishing/sender ID (about the latter I intend to ask some questions about "licensing"), network access security, spyware ( CalamityJane  is looking forward to that one!) and IE.
Tonight we're going to dinner at the Space Needle, and I brought my binoculars. It's been a very nice crowd so far.
And CalamityJane looks great today 
Off to the opening session...

Ooooh, Space Needle! 
Did Blake make it? Do we get night shots over Seattle from the Space Needle? Will Mt. St. Helens blow while you're up there? . . . Film at 11!
And, one question I forgot to ask on the MVP summit: Does MS subsequently put up any of the presentations or Q&A sessions afterwards somewhere on their website?

| I am here and have my camera with and I should have gotten pictures of the fight we just had over spam mail during a presentation by Manav Mishra, it was great. Microsoft is working on it, but they did take some heat over limitations, but those limitations are in very difficult areas. They did bring a number of team members from their anti-spammer group as they did want to hear what was said and they got it. Workgroups to follow on this topic, which boxing qloves will handed out in.

| Blake,
You guys just hang in there and say what you feel needs to be said, as you see it. That'll work just fine. We sort of look on those of you (from BBR/DSLR) as being our reps in this Conclave and we know you'll do what you can to the best of your abilities.
It's fun to hear about the freebies, the dinners, and (eventually) the parties, but I think we all know that you're all working hard on these issues. That will do quite nicely.
And if Mt. St. Helens blows, well . . .

Stay away from the punch, man. And don't take any pills that are offered; they're trying to go Borg on your ass.
