It's always great to see your work on stage!  Today I had the pleasure of sitting in the audience at the TechEd EMEA keynote where Soma (Corporate VP Developer Division), Tony Goodhew (Senior Product Manager), and Dan Fernandez (Lead Product Manager) delivered a FANTASTIC keynote and set of demos.  I wanted to congratulate the Personify team in Seattle for building some of the very exciting parts of the demo which received some significant applause.  Specifically, the Silverlight based aisle shopping experience, the WPF based 3D product viewing control which showed the quince paste container inside the Microsoft Word custom task pane, and the WPF based interactive 3D in-store management application which allows the store manager to navigate the store in 3D and place products directly on the shelves.

Congratulations to Soma, Tony, Dan, and the rest of the folks at Microsoft for a great keynote and more importantly delivering a very compelling set of software tools!
