Wow, TechED Australia. What an amazing week of worldwide firsts — including the opportunity to be part of the first ever conference with full delegate Netbook and BPOS coverage!
that brings me to now, my last post here on the Win7TechED.info blog. So I’d like to take a moment to say thankyou and wrap up:
Thankyou to [...]
What a week (in more ways than one) …and the netbooks are done. Each one was lovingly unpacked, imaged, and put back to bed in it’s original packing.
…it sounds so easy when I say it like that; but in reality they were imaged 100 at a time per zone, 5 zones in total, each zone [...]
It was the week before TechED, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Because, I mean really, who uses a mouse to play a Windows7 powered Arcade Machine? …or the multi touch enabled Media Center …or your very own Netbook with a wireless XBOX 360 controller on the side. =)
Yup, [...]
JeffA has just confirmed the secret App for our Netbooks is Office 2010:
jeffa36Come on Netbook Image capture for #auteched..I want to go home..1gb captured so far in this pass..oh secret app is..drumroll..Office 2010!!
Personally, having used Office 2010 preview for a few weeks now, all I can say is PHWAAARRR!!!
Outlook 2010 and Onenote 2010 have rocked [...]
A few moments ago, Jeff twittered “Houston we have capture! successfully captured WIM using MDT 2010.gentlemen.that is how we do that! ”
..to which Orin Thomas (Security powerhouse and TechED speaker) responded: ”JeffA, came, saw, captured”
I giggled like a school girl. But in all seriousness, The TechED tickets are sold out, all [...]
Well Nick Hodge has just broken the news. All the Netbooks for this year’s TechED have landed in Queensland.
So if you had thoughts of getting to TechED, now would be the time, cause yesterday Coatsy announced there are less than 100 tickets left.
The only other supergossip, Jeff is back from TR9 in Seattle and is [...]
Well yesterday came the tweet that had to happen soon or later; TechED tickets are over 90% sold. I guess that means there are only about ~200 tickets left.
I shouldn’t be that surprised I guess, because Coatsy also posted yesterday that the first draft of TechED Session List (Scheduler Builder) should come on-line today.
…but [...]
Wow, what a week huh. Yesterday it was announced that the Window 7 RTM is coming to MSDN/Technet on August 6th. (and today Win7 was officially signed off at RTM) That’s more than just in time for Tech.ED! =)
And to top it all off, the first 20 HP Netbooks have arrived here in Oz!! The [...]
Well it got a bit quiet there for a bit, but it looks like the lads over at Microsoft have been busy with out Netbooks for TechED:
Jorke: has been tweaking the wireless network for us; and introduced DavidH (the Technology project Manager of tech.ed)
Nick: has ordered our netbooks; they’ll arrive next week here in Australia [...]
Jeff has been busy, and by the looks of it, having a lot of fun with our Win7 image. I mean really, if you check Jeff’s twitter feed, he’s been pulling a few late nighters =)
Anyway, more importantly, It looks like the Win7 image is close to done.
A week in review with pictures is below:
