Rupert Goodwins' San Jose Diary
Blog There's an opportunity to find out, which I fluff: there's a round table with Pat and about 15n journalists at the very end of IDF, but there isn't enough time to ask all the questions. And with that, IDF was over.

Blog Still mulling over these thoughts, I make my way to the final session of the IDF. It's had enough trouble going from 32 to 64 bits, which is rather like learning to drive a bus after mastering a VW Beetle.
