So how was the first day of TechEd 2009? First two sessions of the day were really good, one on some tech issues with WDS and the second on using hacker-like techniques to become a better sysadmin. That took us up to lunch which was okay (mmm, veal) given the scale of the catering operation. Apparently over 31000 meals will be served over the course of the event!. After a lunch was a session on desktop virtualisation which wasn’t anywhere near as deep-dive tech as it was advertised as, and then the keynote. Biggest announcement was the launch today of Exchange 2010 which looks pretty good from both for both infrastructure and an end-user perspective, but other than that it was a big old marketing presentation that didn’t really tell me anything new. Day ended with a hand-on lab on Advanced PowerShell just to relax and wind down….
Anyway, today is the 20th anniversary of the Berlin wall coming down but it looks like the it was going to be mad crowded plus its raining so I’ll watch on the German news channel in my hotel.
Oh, one other item of note: Mark Minasi has shaved his beard off!
