Firstly, apologies – things have been a tad manic recently, and with my holiday booked for this coming Sunday, I need to get as much done as possible before I go, hence a reduction in blog posts!  I’ll try and get a few more cheeky blog posts out this week before I leave, (or use Live Writer’s ‘set publish date’ option, to filter posts through next week), but we’ll see.

I’ve also been hard at work on recording more video content for my TV site, specifically around the R2 release of WS2008…These things take time!

So, with regards to this post – I blogged a week or so ago, about a couple of UK sessions that Global Knowledge were running around Windows 7.  Well, to keep it plain and simple, they’re running some more, and this time, Windows Server 2008 R2 has been thrown into the mix.

Windows 7 is the next version of the popular Microsoft Window Client platform. With this latest version of Windows, Microsoft has concentrated on making real progress in the area of performance. As well as improvements in networking ,functionality, security and interoperability Microsoft have learned the lessons from Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 to create a slicker client OS. That's the official line from Microsoft. But have the product groups really listened to customers? And does the product deliver on its promises. In this session Andy Malone takes a hard look under the covers of Microsoft's successor to Vista to determine what has changed and if Windows 7 is indeed the answer to all our prayers!
