Recently there have been many tech websites telling you that they attended Microsoft’s TechNet conference. They sat in the audience at the various presentations and fed back news. At gHacks we’re doing things a little differently and I’ll be at Microsoft’s UK Tech.Days in London when they start on Monday at the request of Microsoft to host some “Ask the Expert” sessions.
The day I’ll be in attendance for will be “Deploying and Managing the Modern Desktop” which will include additional subjects including virtualisation.
Desktop technology has marched on: user needs and expectations are changing; the Internet is a different place to 10 years ago and we haven’t even mentioned virtualisation!
You need to think about your desktop and the infrastructure behind it. You need a modern desktop to easily take advantage of all of these technologies, and to enable your people to be productive long into the future. In this demo-filled day, we will look at how to weave technologies like Windows 7, Office 2010, the Microsoft Desktop Optimisation Pack (MDOP), and desktop virtualisation technologies into a coherent sustainable, cost-reducing desktop strategy.
I’ll also be feeding back to you the days events and the news that comes from it. It’ll certainly be interesting to be on the other side. I have to admit I’ve not actually been to a Microsoft events before so for my first one to be at their request to help answer questions from IT Pros is quite a personal thrill and a great acknowledgement of the work done by all my colleagues here at gHacks.
For those of you in or near London don’t forget my Geek Meet where there will be staff from Microsoft present and I’ll have signed copies of my Windows 7 Troubleshooting book and a fantastic Windows 7 Tablet, courtesy of ExoPC, to give away. This social event is open to everyone though you’ll need to enter our competition to be in with a chance of winning the tablet.
