I wrote about what might have been behind Robert Scoble declaration that he saw something at Microsoft that made him cry and that it'll come out to the world on February 27th in Robert Scoble cries over the Microsoft World Wide Telescope Project - me thinks.

I'm wondering exactly what is going to be shown at TED later this month - it seems to me that an Astronomy program with great pictures - well - it's got to be more than that - but what?

I don't think Scoble cries all that often - the couple of times I've seen him, he hasn't been crying - and he doesn't have any great love for Microsoft -though he seems friendly enough with his former employer that they invited him over for a drink and showed him one of their latest innovations.

Which reminds me - recently, another Microsoft innovation came to light - care of David Pogue at the New York Times - Office Live Small Business http://video.on.nytimes.com/?fr_story=20331d4f7dfd0d541404c93fb9bcf988c806cb31

The video is pretty hilarious - but it also gave me a good idea of what Office Live Small Business does.  I have a version of that video, below:
