Did this actually happen today, Sep 13 2011? There doesn’t seem to be an Office 365 session, 9am Central is 7am in Anaheim, and the keynote was more about Windows 8…
The Office 365 launch was not part of the keynote, no. But it did show up on the BUILD live stream at 7AM PST, so I assumed it was part of BUILD. On the other hand, it was possibly a re-broadcast of an earlier event. Perhaps something that happened on Monday?
Ok, it looks like this was a re-broadcast of the Office 365 launch from 28 Jun 2011. Available here – http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/office/online/videoGallery.aspx?contentID=365LaunchKeynote
I’m not sure why this fired up for me on the BUILD live stream yesterday. Perhaps they were re-broadcasting just to share the info again. Or perhaps it was a glitch with the Akamai stream and still sitting out there from the 28-Jun event. At any rate, it’s good info!
