Got back last weekend from IT-Forum. On Wednesday (the day after my last blog) the MVPs had another Breakfast Q&A with Microsofts Senior VP Bob Muglia - I was really impressed by him: I haven't seen many people of that position which are still able to discuss and get feedback from techies. Over the other days there were a lot of sessions, interesting conversations and not very much sleep. I had also some very interesting discussions with various customers at the Ask-the-Experts booth.
On Thursday Brian Komar (author of various books including Windows Security Resource Kit and Windows Server 2003 PKI Certificate Services who did some sessions about PKI and Security - I can highly recommend his books and sessions) and I explored the possibilities of Windows Movie Maker - we made a short clip which Brian showed prior to his PKI-Session on Friday - very funny. Was all about that Jesper Johannson (another speaker and author, search TechEd for a couple good articles of him) mentioned that Biometric devices are discussable since you are not able to revoke a thumb if you don't trust the employee anymore. Brians short clip prooved otherwise, and Jesper was a good sport and sponsored his voice for the resync after he's seen the first version. We had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the clip will not be available in the public since there might be copyright issues.
I was very sorry to leave on Friday, but was also looking forward to get back to my wife and to catch up on some sleep.
