Bizarro Brainshare World: Microsoft Headlines

Quick flash from Brainshare 2007 opener.

Novell SVP and CMO John Dragoon introduced Platinum sponsors of the annual event, IBM, HP, Intel, Gwava, blah blah and "of course" Microsoft.

Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer Craig Mundiewill take the stage later today.

Microsoft. At Brainshare.

My how things have changed.

Meanwhile, some other of the open-source faithful are gathering across the street to "rain on Novell's parade."
