I’m here in Redmond for a few days to attend SMBNation and also to visit a few people at Microsoft on various teams to make good contacts so I can write even better and more informed things on Cougar, Centro, and the other products I’m involved with. One of the things you learn after working with MS for a while is that their campus here in Redmond is BIG really big. And you can get around parts of it by walking if you want. So each time I come to MS, I download these three maps to my PDA that way if I catch a taxi to any building then I’ll know where to go. Most MS employees will tell you oh I’m in building 18 or 43 etc and most taxi drivers don’t always know where building 18 is. Anyway long story short here’s the maps. The SBS Dev team are in building 43. MS Press (my editor Karen) is in building 18 and next week, SMBNation conference is being held in building 33, and next week I’m meeting with the SCE team and they are in building 44. See simple right? J Oh and to give you an idea of scale it’s about a 15-20minute walk from building 43 to building 33.
