Mark's Notebook : Apple upstages Microsoft at VSLive?

Mark's Notebook


	And this is the simple truth - that to live is to feel oneself lost. He who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order to the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. All the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce. - Soren Kierkegaard

The iPod is everywhere these days, even at a Microsoft developer conference.

The exhibit hall at this week's VSLive, a conference for Visual Studio programmers, is filled with an eclectic bunch, from developer-training companies to hardware makers showing off their latest wares.

One thing that many of the exhibitors had in common was the raffle prize item they used to lure people to their booths: Apple Computer's iPod.

Although the iPod has little connection to Microsoft's Visual Studio developer tools, there is no question it is hot, hot, hot.
