I’ll be discussing Windows 7 (and a few other topics; see below) at the Boston Area Windows Server User Group this evening, so if you’re in the area, come on down. Here are the details about the location and event:
Boston Area Windows Server User Group
Wednesday October 1, 2008 6:00 PM

Directions:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/info/usaoffices/newengland/waltham.mspxPaul Thurrott - Paul is the guy behind SuperSite for Windows (www.itprotoday.com) and is WindowsITPro's News Editor. Come hear Paul discuss Windows 7.

9:00-9:10 - Standard Raffle (including 5 signed copies of Paul's latest book "Windows Vista Secrets")
9:15ish - Premium Member Raffle! Premium members have a chance to win an iPod Nano.
I had hoped to be able to show a recent build of Windows 7 by the time of the presentation, but that won't be happening, so I’ll focus the discussion on what’s permissible, and I’ll be posting the actual presentation to the SuperSite tomorrow. But I’ll also be discussing Microsoft’s strategy around its Essential Server Solutions products—Windows Home Server, Windows Small Business Server 2008, and Windows Essential Business Server 2008—and how these products compare and can be used in different environments. I also hope to have time to discuss a virtualization project I’m working on involving Hyper-V and some of the aforementioned ESS products.
In any event, I hope you can make it. If not, the presentation will be posted tomorrow.
