On the 15th, we all visited Microsoft in Sandyford Industrial Estate as part of the ODCSSS experience. We were given a brief tour during which we saw lots of orange balloons (to celebrate the Office 2010 launch), the shop (software packages for >€20!! And Sweet Factory...), gym, canteen (with champagne glasses ready for the launch celebration) and an office (accompanied by a story to explain the numerous Mac-adorned desks).
Note: many pictures were taken before I noticed a sign saying PHOTOGRAPHY PROHIBITED peeking out from behind a bush...oops!
We were the first ones of the day to see the Kinect video which was show at E3 2010, which frankly made me squirm with embarrassment for the poor arm-flinging folks onscreen combined with the games featured, especially the driving one and the one where you get to pet tigers and giggle (presuming you're a preteen girl). Our 'tour guide' also spoke to us about ~*The Cloud*~ (sorry), how Microsoft adapts to its competitors and interview tips. At the end we were given bing stickers and Office 2010 transfers.

Moving on, the fast pace at which technology improves is one of the reasons I'm interested in Computer Science. Hence my hxc documentation of Kryder's Law! ...not really...
