Yesterday saw the kickoff of TechEd North America.\u00a0 Attendances appear to be down.\u00a0 I\u2019d also hear that they had merged the IT Pro and Dev sessions.\u00a0 The same is being done in EMEA later this year in Berlin.\u00a0 That\u2019s unfortunate because MS has the tendency to swing things towards the dev community.\u00a0 The old TechEd that I used to go to was definitely like that.<\/p>\n
BTW, I just found these sessions<\/a> from TecEd EMEA last year.<\/p>\n It looks like Windows 7 is going to RTM early as expected.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see the RTM release available on TechNet and MSDN in September with the Server 2008 R2 release coming not long after.<\/p>\n My blogging activity is dropping significantly lately.\u00a0 Work is really busy.\u00a0 Plus I\u2019m back on a writing project that had frozen.\u00a0 The \u201cMastering Windows Server 2008" books are back on the cards.\u00a0 They now will include Windows Server 2008 R2 material.\u00a0 My chapters require some rewriting so that\u2019s gonna keep me busy for the next 3 or 4 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday saw the kickoff of TechEd North America.\u00a0 Attendances appear to be down.\u00a0 I\u2019d also hear that they had merged the IT Pro and Dev sessions.\u00a0 The same is being done in EMEA later this year in Berlin.\u00a0 That\u2019s unfortunate because MS has the tendency to swing things towards the dev community.\u00a0 The old TechEd … Continue reading “Stuff”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9631\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
