Wondering what cool things big MS is making?

Scobleizer claimed that Microsoft researchers made him cry but he couldn't reveal the secret until Feb 27.  Hmm...this is very interesting.  I am really wondering what real cool things the big MS is making that could really impact person like Scobleizer, emotionally.

While watching the demo I realized the way I look at the world was about to change. While listening to Wong I noticed a tear running down my face. It’s been a long while since Microsoft did something that had an emotional impact on me like that.

...

Imagine if Microsoft did 10 things a year like what Curtis and Jonathan showed me yesterday? If the innovation engine at Microsoft were working that well there wouldn’t be any pressure to buy Yahoo. Heck, and if there were a constant stream of stuff like what I saw yesterday Yahoo wouldn’t be resisting going to Microsoft. They’d +want+ to go to Microsoft. Yesterday is the first time since leaving that I wish I were back working at Microsoft.

I am damn curious now, seriously too. :0

Ok, as Scobleizer promised, today he revealed what actually made him cry, the WorldWide Telescope.  The site doesn't really have anything in it so can't really tell how awesome it is.  But according to what Scobleizer described, it sounds very amazing, like magic indeed.  Kind a bit of beyond my interest though.
