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.

Look out, Gartner is stating the obvious again!
Of course, it occurred to me that on this topic, Gartner is not talking to people who understand the consumerization of IT. This is happening, and traditional IT folks, yes including us Microsoft/Linux/Apple junkies, don’t see it coming.
For myself though, all I get from news articles of Gartner is the same opinion: Isn’t this obvious enough?

OK, one really cool present so far on virtual desktop infrastructure.
The concept is more extensive than I had previously understood. Very cool.
I’ll find and post some tidbits later. Still at the seminar, looking forward to some more topics.
