Lunch with Steve Ballmer
I had the opportunity to have lunch today with Steve Ballmer at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference to hear from the man himself about Microsoft's vision for Silverlight, WPF and working with agencies like Cynergy. Although most of the discussion is protected under a crushing pile of NDAs, I'm pleased to say that at the highest levels of Microsoft there is the firm belief that user experience driven design is the future of software development.
As everyone here at Cynergy knows, we are fully committed to the Microsoft stack and are investing very heavily into recreating the success we've enjoyed in the Adobe world in the new Microsoft world. We feel that Microsoft has an incredibly compelling, holistic offering across form factors with technologies such as Silverlight, WPF, Surface, Windows Mobile and beyond. It's going to be a very exciting next few years working hand in hand with Microsoft to help push these technologies to their limits.
A quick thanks to Darren McCormick and the the rest of the folks at Microsoft for bringing us together for this meeting today to hear from Ballmer himself about the vision and future.
