At this year's BlogHer conference in Chicago on July 24-25, Microsoft Office hosted the MicroSpa, where BlogHer attendees could relax, check out the latest tech from Office, get technical assistance, enjoy refreshments (fruits, cheeses, pastries, sparkling wine), and sign up for one of three spa treatments -- a back massage, hand massage, or make-up artistry.
