I'm at Design Thinking 2007 in Dallas on October 20th
I'll be speaking on the topic of design thinking at an event organized by the Dallas Chapter of the Usability Professionals Association. I look forward to seeing you there. You can sign up for this event by visiting the blog and learn more about how we're going to parse this subject. All good stuff and I'll probably bring a few treats to give out too. Hope to see you there.
I asked during your (excellent) presentation about the control set that would be shipping with Silverlight 1.1. You said that I should email you to ask for a powerpoint presentation you had. I don't think that my emails got through, though. )-:
Also, you said that IE 7 had something like a 60% market share. I think a few eyebrows went up there, because the numbers I've seen are more like 25%. If you're right, that's really great news -- what was your source on that?

Matt, you are correct. I got my facts mixed up and should indeed have raised eyebrows. What I probably said was something along the lines of 70% but that's for all of IE, not just IE7. Most metrics companies presumed that IE7 sits at around 33% to 35% of the market and that it surpassed about 100 million installs in July.
My presentations are on SlideShare if you look for me over there (need to link them back here though). Regarding Silverlight, look at the following resources for information on 1.1
