I had to post this one. I love numbers and this was too good to pass up.

5:55:55 PM on the 5th day of the 5th month of the 5th year of 2000. Not bad.

--------------

What was I doing today? Nope - I wasn't helping a customer migrate from Exchange 5.5.

Strangely enough I have been working a LOT with the Canadian Exchange PM (Hilary Wittmann) on some initiatives called "CookingSchools". It's a great concept - Have three presentations to a group of customers who are facing Exchange migrations.

  1. A MS person (me) who talks about all the benefits, functionality, mobility, security and overall "WOW" of the Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 platform.  
  2. A Systems Integration partner (In no specific order: Legendcorp, Metaphore, Dell, HP and Compugen) who have significant experience working on Exchange Migrations to talk about their approach and best practices to make a migration Successful.
  3. A migration software company (Quest Software) who makes tools to both report, diagnose and migrate the customer from old to new.

Put us all together in the room and include a personalized whiteboarding session to talk about specific customer pains.  You get one real cool day of migration information for the customers. I love seeing the lightbulb go on throughout the day for the customers. I love to see the excitement for the new tools and features in Exchange 2003. I've had a lot of fun helping this process out.

Oh yeah - Great value as well - did I mention it was free?
