In a matter of hours… Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft will be giving a speech in NY at the (NRF) National Retail Federation trade show.

I am not sure that I can quite put the significance of this moment in context.
In 2000… while I was working with MindTheStore.com… we launched our new product at the NRF show in NY… and at the time Microsoft didn’t even have a booth!

We launched CORE… which even by today’s standards… was a visionary use of technology: http://web.archive.org/web/20010708231302/www.mindthestore.com/newcore/pressroom-01.htm
In 2001 we met with Microsoft… and since then… I have waited for this moment!
Today will be a great day!
