So Darren has taken a shot at my presentation preparation technique, but this is from a man that openly denies the existance of the demo gods. I on the other hand observe all technical presenter holidays and face Redmond every morning – I had no need to worry.

Actually – it was a calculated risk, I did some extensive mearching (the MSN Search version of Googling) and only half of those sites I visited reported any problems with WinFS on BETA 2. I’ll take those odds!

I’m actually doing a presentation today at the Canberra .NET User Group (remember to register for catering) and as part of my preparation I have installed the highly stable LINQ technical preview.
