But there was nada in the financial arena. The feedback circulating around the conference was that this was conscious decision by Microsoft. That's somewhat like some cultures that believe speaking a thing's name give it power. Some thought CEO Satya Nadella mentioned AX in his keynote but I can't find that in the official transcript. He did mention CRM twice and with a new release coming out, that's not surprising. During the first day only Judson Althoff, president of Microsoft North America, spoke the name of an ERP package and then only AX, which was the only one he mentioned by name in his address the second day of the conference. Most execs talked about Dynamics CRM, even if just in passing. It was only the second-day talk by Wayne Morris,  MBS marketing, that GP and NAV were discussed and that was by  product people making presentations, not Morris himself.
