Connections 2007 - Day 2 Wrap-up

Another great day at the Windows Connections 2007 conference in Orlando, FL, at least for me.  Got to a keynote, three interesting sessions and some time with Microsoft, just to chat.
This morning’s keynote was Exchange 2007: Getting to Know You presented by Tony Redmond of HP.  Pretty good information, though it was kind of [...]


Connections Pre-Con: SharePoint Services 3.0

Good session so far!  There are more features available in Windows SharePoint Service (WSS) 3.0 than I had realized.  Lots of really neat things that you can do that I had previously believed was only available in the Office SharePoint Server 2007.
I had planned on setting up a virtual machine in the near future.  [...]


Off to the Connections 2007 Conference

Well, I’ll be at the Connections 2007 conference next week.  Hosted by Microsoft, Windows IT Pro magazine and Tech Conferences, Connections is a great networking resource for Windows, Exchange and Office technology professionals.
This particular event is being held at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, FL.  Should be a good time, as well [...]


Going to Windows Connections - Spring 2007

I’ll be going to the Windows Connections conference in April, which looks to be an interesting session on Windows Vista, Office 2007, and Exchange 2007.  I’m also attending some SharePoint 2007 sessions that are being held pre & post conference.
It’s a 4-5 day conference, mainly for Information Technology professionals focusing on deploying technology within [...]


Microsoft Lunch at the Launch

Yeah, why not blog about lunch. Cold turkey sandwich and a cookie.
The morning sessions was pretty good, the Vista/Office deployment features look like they’ll be usable. The Exchange Server Efficiency session was neat as well. We’ll have to include some of the topics they talked about, but we’re already on top [...]


The Borg are among us… Geeks with headsets

Well, one thing for sure. There is quite a bit of geek pride that is on parade here at the Vista launch. I’d wager a good 30% of the attendies are sporting their BT headsets for the day.
Of course there are still some “old school” types with their corded headsets as well. [...]


ScobleShow’s exclusive lunch with Bill Gates at CES 2007

How did I miss this? Robert Scoble captured the visit that Bill Gates had with a number of technology and gadget sites.
Some of the sites participating in the discussion are Engadget, Gizmodo, Kotaku, and Joystiq.
The discussion was fantastic in the depth of categories of technology covered. As usual, Bill Gates is a [...]


Remote Access at Microsoft

This morning, I’m at Microsoft’s office in Bloomington, MN for a seminar on remote access.
Should be a good session, covering different technologies to enhance remote access to corporate networrks.
I’m in early, hoping to get one of the 50 freebies that were to be given away, but looking forward to the information. From the handouts, [...]


Windows Connections

Well, I’m trying to decide if I should go to the Windows Connections conference this fall.  It’s in Vegas, and I’m not really enamored of the place (of course I’ve never been there yet).
Looks to be a good conference, as the Connections ones usually are, with a number of great speakers (Steve Riley, Mark Minasi, [...]
