Thanks for pointing that out.  I do notice that the stories that do crop up to the top generally have to do with Microsoft open sourcing software, so in that sense the stories don&#x27;t seem all that out of line with what I generally expect to see on front page of HN.  But being a developer who remembers old Microsoft it&#x27;s hard to accept them back into my life even if it is just a few links on a forum :)<p>The conference does add clarity.  I&#x27;m surprised I hadn&#x27;t heard about it before now.<p>EDIT:  Just visited the channel9 live broadcast.  &quot;Scott Guthrie&#x27;s Keynote&quot; showed less than 700 views.  The other keynote I looked at had less than 150 views, and the final keynote less than 100 views.  I say good for Microsoft on all the changes they&#x27;re making for the better, but the amount of promotion vs the amount of perceived interest do not appear to align when it comes to Microsoft and their work toward bringing developers into their ecosystem.
