Microsoft was releasing a new version of Visual Studio, so they asked Mixergy to organize a Drinks 2.0 and invite the developer community.The great thing about this event is how many people showed up who would never have come to a Microsoft event. As you can see in the attached video, in addition to MS developers, the room was full of people who were neutral or negative about Microsoft. It didn’t matter. Lynn and Woody of Microsoft bought them all a drink. By the end of the night, and after a few rounds on the Xbox, we all agreed it’s not about the software, it’s about the developer.
