I’ll be in Redmond this week for the Microsoft Technology Summit; thanks for the invite go to Brian Hitney, who I met at Raleigh Bar Camp over the summer. Samir, Pia, and Jeff seemed to think it was a decent idea after their (admittedly mixed) experience last year. I don’t expect I’ll see a whole lot about the legal side of things, but I think understanding how the space’s dominant player is moving is useful for lawyers as well as technologists, so I’m hoping it’ll be worthwhile. We’ll see, I guess :)

Judging by the blog posting you linked to, I’m reminded once again of that rather overused by often appropriate Upton Sinclair quote:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
Do not forget to take a cross, a stake, holy water, garlic and chastity belt. :)
