The biggest thing at New Orleans.. was not the throwing of the beads...but StorageCraft and Mark Crall
...oh yeah sure the folks loved throwing the beads off of the balcony and all that but the thing that really made a lot of people go ooooh and ahhhh was Mark Crall. No he wasn't getting beads thrown at him, but rather demo'ing for real LIVE and on stage a restore from backup to dissimilar hardware.

He took a backup image he had done of a server, he then fired up virtual pc and restored the backed up "real" server to a virtual one and flagging the "check for hardware changes and deal with it automatically" function that the IT pro version does. Very impressive and very cool. You can even mount the image and browse a read only version of the server if you need to extract data or what not.
