Title: A Lap Around the Cloud
Ok, so everyone is buzzing about the cloud. Brian will start with explaining what everyone means by this, and show you how Microsoft built Windows Azure. From there he will tour the different pieces of Windows Azure, and discuss how you can start using them the next day. This will include compute, storage, management, SQL Azure, and Windows Azure AppFabric. He will also attempt to use over 30 different metaphors in the same talk.
