2.       Virtual Earth: Our second video (in the final stages of production this week) showcases three cool Virtual Earth demos, presented by an SDE and Sr. PM, which will be available for viewing on HG.com next week.

You’ll also notice the speakers for both sessions have dedicated this week to answering questions about their presentation, product, or just generally what it’s like to work at MS, in our new HG.com Tech Talk Forum .
