It seemed like too much of a fight to get to all the sessions today, so I skipped one set of sessions to spend some time in the Hands On Labs area.  It's a huge room full of computers loaded with all of the latest bits (the longhorn build, the Visual Studio Whidbey files), so it's much faster than installing them all on a laptop.  Each machine has a booklet of labs that can be walked through.  It's a nice break from the presentations and a useful way to build familiarity with the new concepts.

I did the Indigo track and built my first Indigo application which was like an improved way of using the SoapSender/SoapReceiver from WSE.
