I expected that this place would be filled with Java Developers and Experts that I know from conferences and open-source mailing lists. Not so - there's only a handful of guys I know. Here's the list of folks I actually recognize. I apologize to anyone I forgot.

After talking with a lot of Microsoftees (including the lady who came up the idea), this whole week seems pretty harmless. They want us to critique their products and strategies and tell them what they're doing wrong. We had fun ragging on some guys tonight about IE7 and TDD. They admitted that the test-driven development we're doing is very interesting to them. With any luck, we'll get to rag on IE7 enough so it's actually better than Firefox.
