The Discussion

jh71283 I was pretty sure in the keynote, Jonathan stated it was written in C#, not C++.

JonathanG Ok, so both my name and my company name is spelt incorrectly (Greensted & Sentient) and jh71283 is correct, Bluehoo is entirely written in C# not C++ apart from, obviously, the java versions which are written in, erm, java!
Oh, are we are not location based either! We are location aware but proximity based.
Hey ho, I've always loved Micosaft and Roy Ozhe.
Hat tip to Windows Azure however ... it absolutely rocks.
