Sep'09 VTD is over. What next?

ITPro — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:03:00 GMT

The Sep'09 Virtual TechDays (VTD) concluded last week. We received a great response to the 2nd edition of VTD. From an IT Pro perspective, we were overwhelmed with the response we got for the Virtualization track. You can definitely look forward to hearing more on Virtualization from us in the months ahead. The recorded sessions & the presentations will be made available in the coming weeks on the site.

So what is ahead.....if you are reading this, you are getting to hear it first. Straight from the source!! Following the great response to our recent VTD, we will be hosting our 3rd edition of VTD….tentatively planned for 25th & 26th of Nov. Now that the dates are locked (almost), we need to put the agenda together & pick a host. Taking of hosts, how did you like our past hosts- Mandira Bedi, and Nikhil Chinapa? We haven’t zeroed in our host for the 3^rd edition of VTD, but if you have a suggestion on the host, leave me a note. Maybe we will try & rope him/her. J

We are also planning to hit the road with our TechNet Roadshow. Maybe across 5 cities. With a focus on Virtualization. Obviously! We are still in planning stage…need to align budgets, speakers & venues. Stay tuned for more on this.

Cheers for now!

Windows Vista Live Event- 5th & 6th

ITPro — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 11:10:00 GMT

We have organized a 2 day live meeting session on optimizing & deploying windows Vista. We have had a great response to this event so far. I do hope that Sys admins & IT support folks find it useful as well. More on this at http://www.vistalive.timeus.net/

As we plan for FY'09 (Microsoft's financial year starts in July), we are very keen to do more of these online engagements. There are a few areas that we need to fix, specifically with the audio & user experience. We are working on that. Should you have any suggestions on improvements, please feel free to leave a comment.

Microsoft Launches World Wide Telescope

ITPro — Tue, 13 May 2008 08:46:00 GMT

Now you get to view Space from your own very computer. Yes, that is what the World Wide Telescope is. It is a resource of high resolution pictures & images that have been captured by high resolution telescopes across the world & those in space. You can now zoom in & zoom out into the night sky, check out the various planets & satellites in our solar system & much more. This is just fabulous. Check out more on this at http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/

It will be great if in the coming years, we can get live pictures as well. Wouldn't it be fun to zoom in & zoom out onto objects flying through space, including space shuttles! Here hoping for more. "Keep an eye on this Space". Pun intended!
