Note might be sparse here as it's not a great keynote. There's a lack of excitement, and enthusiasm from the speakers this week for keynotes. I've typically dreaded the vendor keynote because they work too hard to try and sell you something.

DELL is here to talk about SQL Server in the enterprise and specifically consolidation and configuration.

We're getting some ideas about configuration management, showing us types of data to track. This isn't worthy of a keynote. There is a good list of information, but it's not something that we need talked about in the morning session, and we certainly don't need it read to us.

Why do configuration management? You can learn how to classify systems for SLAs and support resources. It also gives you priority for DR.

Ay yi yi, this is almost painful. I do like technical information and not marketing, and this isn't a lot of marketing, but it is boring and uninspiring.

I quit, this just sucks. It's not worth reporting on, unless we go Mystery Science Theater 3000-style.
