My Microsoft staff host Pam met me at building 27 and we drove across campus to #100. Along the way, she gave me a tour of some the significant buildings. Pictured is Bill & Steve's office, provisional housing condos for visiting consultants and field staff, the Company Store where Pam helped me buy some software and lunch at Microsoft Dining Services. On my lap is the amount of software $244.88 buys at an employee discount. My talk went well and had an OK turnout considering it was at the end of the day on a Friday. They had a taxi waiting for me right after I finished and I saw today's rain on the way back downtown. I chill tonight to take an early flight home in the morning.
