Did you think we uncovered all our cards at PDC? Nope: that was mainly (but not only) our developer story, given the atmosphere of the conference, but in our sleeve there’s ample space for ITPros too. It’s hot news from this morning that we made available the release candidate of ILM "2": you…
PDC has come and gone, and Microsoft’s identity landscape has changed. New products emerged, services appeared or underwent profound transformations: but the remarkable thing is that all elements, none excluded, are part of a single,company-wide, consistent strategy that aims at putting the user in control of his/her identities. Many words will be…
[update The Training Kit version announced here is now obsolete: today (2/6/2009) we announced the availability of the February Update of the Azure Services Training Kit. Read about this update here] You all heard the news: Windows Azure here, Azure Services there… now it’s time to get you hands dirty: the team…
Identity is everywhere at this PDC2008! After the keynotes and the many breakouts, let me introduce you to the Booth. We are in the Big Room, on your right, and we are easily recognizable thanks to 1) the big “Identity for software+services” signage and 2) the fashionable pistacchio shirts we drape ourselves in….

[warning: you won’t find any useful identity related info in this post] I recently moved to a new apartment, and while unboxing the books I had to decide on a criteria for shelving them in our wonderful black billy. Hierarchies sucks, because they force you to choose a single criteria for slicing…
Almost a year has passed since TechEd EMEA; I remember giving a chalk talk on STSes and claims based identity in general, and a guy from the audience who was asking especially elaborate questions… it was clear that he was hands on and had a lot of experience in developing for CardSpace. I…
On a flight from Sydney to S.Francisco. We were supposed to leave at 1:55pm, we took off almost at 9:00pm. I am really, really pissed off and the only thing that lightens up my mood is re-reading the great comments that the Australian TechEd attendees left on as feedback for the couple of…
Greetings from the far New Zealand 🙂 this is a great place, I wish I’d have more time to look around. I compensated by spending a stupid amount of money in souvenirs (all bought in about 20 mins, so without much judgement (if ever)). Yesterday I had my session on Cloud & Identity,…
