Back in the big room again. This was a fairly good session, giving an overview of a huge project lifecycle and integration suite in far too short of a time. The presenters, whose names I unfortunately didn't catch, were a study of contrasts - one seemed poised and prepared, while the other seemed disjointed and constantly at a loss for words. I'd be nervous in front of a crowd like that too, but it was the contrast that made it so evident.

VSTS is far too big of a product to give it justice in a short presentation - or a short blog entry - but the demo was impressive, and if it works as well as it looks in the real world then it will definitely be a marketplace winner.
