Briefcase

Last night I went out with Tony Davis of Simple Talk and Alan White, a
longtime author for both here and Simple Talk. After satisfying their
need for microbrewery beer, we ended up at a Southern BBQ. They enjoyed
it, despite having to join me in choking down American beers.
We got to talk about a bunch of stuff, mostly non-technical, but it was
interesting to hear their perspectives on the conferences. They
definitely are enjoying the conference and getting some good
development knowledge here at TechEd. There's definitely some, but I
think this is more an infrastructure conference overall. Still it was
interesting to hear them. They still like the PASS conference for DBAs
with lots of networking opportunities and real world presentations.
They did think that Powershell is going to be here a long time and take
off. I think it's pretty cool, but I've seen MS push lots of
technologies, so I'm kind of adopting a wait-and-see attitude about
Powershell. If you get the chance, check it out and see what you think
There were definitely lots of Powershell sessions here covering all
sorts of admin, Windows, SQL , Exchange, etc.
