A Wordcamp held in Microsoft premises?? Sounds paradoxical.

I am personally very interested in the developments on the eCommerce aspects of Wordpress, so would be very interesting if you have the time to develop what you discussed with Jonathan Davis and Shayne Sanderson.

As for Intensedebate I also share your reluctance to go with a third-party commenting system. I am starting to reconsider though, but lean towards Disqus in that case.

Hoping for a Wordcamp in Nordic soon...
