Attached is the presentation that I did with Dave Northey from Microsoft Ireland at the recent "TechDays for IT Pro’s" events around Ireland. I was presenting from the slide deck and Dave was bravely doing demonstrations of BranchCache using pre-beta builds of Windows and Hyper-V "R2". Dave got really brave in Dublin/Belfast and even built the Hyper-V cluster from scratch live in front of the crowd on his portable lab of 3 laptops.
I opened the presentation by stating that there was no way we could mention every new feature or even get into detail on all of the highlight features. So the aim of the presentation was to list the "better together" features that would add value to a business that will deploy Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. We then went into some detail on and did demos of BranchCache and Hyper-V "R2". The Windows User Group (Ireland) will be following this up on April 30th with a deep dive session on Hyper-V.
This presentation originally had animations but they are stripped out by SlideShare. The TechNet Ireland crew will likely be sharing the originals pretty soon.
