All,

I’d like to start an email discussion in advance of the F2F on the webcast content. While we do have an initial set of slides – I think we need to make sure that we design the talk for our expected audience – rather than based on the material we already have in the deck. When Dave I went to MS our slide deck was not technical enough – we had the wrong talk with us, and so had to improvise. So, one of the things I’d like to know is: Who is our expected audience? Is it technical people, if so, are they web services aware?, are they applications developers? Or are they mostly managers and planners. Or do we have to try and make everyone happy.

Any insight?
