A few weeks ago, I was invited by my colleague from Microsoft Poland to speak at their main event, Microsoft Technology Summit 2006 . This is the biggest event (so I was told) in Western Europe with 2000 attendees inside the most characteristic building in Warsaw, the palace of nature and science. The palace is a gift that was given to the Poles from the Russians. It is interesting to see that in the past, nations donated buildings and statues to their allies -> for example, the statue of liberty...
