This looks like fantastic stuff. (Sadly the organisation I am currently attached to has only just upgraded to Office XP so al I can do for now is play ...)
Cool! What scares me a little is the amount of great new stuff around that I would like to get a handle on! (OK, so maybe I am getting old ? Surely not)
On a related tack I'm just playing with Spreadsheet Services at the moment and I have to say that if this product does everything it promises to it will be a massive vote winner with Corporates (our business people are screaming for this kind of functionality).
Sad thing is our business is stuck in Office 97 , just starting to migrate to Office XP!
Google? I can't see our business people using Google spreadsheets for Corporate data, and on top of that, the versioning control and all the other related Sharepoint features mean that Excel Services has the edge in terms of functionality (though not marketability)
I never bought one of those WinCE type Media Centre Portable Devices that were around a year or two ago (I recall quite a nice Creative unit with a form factor a little less than a UMPC).
So will these devices be capable of running Windows XP Media Centre - and therefore be usable as a predominantly Media-Centric device?
Where is the best place to get a hands on outside CEBIT? (Mix06?) When will I be able to get one in the UK? Does the 360 know about these devices as a result of the last 360 software update? (What happens when you plug it in to a 360?) How long before we see an example of integration with 360 games? Have I bought into the hype enough?

Absolute top priority should be a name that says whats in the tin:
"Whats cool this week"
"This week on Channel 9"
"Developer Week"
I actually like "geek week" the best (but then I would ..)
