Get on the Bus (Born to Learn) evening - York

Microsoft must be extremely happy with the turnout to the Get on the Bus/Born to Learn sessions at York University this evening. Andrew Bettany and his team at the University should be congratulated for a fantastic evening surrounding Windows 7, Exchange 2010, Windows 2008 R2 and SBS 2008. Furthermore, tonight’s attendance I hope will encourage more Microsoft events in this part of the World.

I appreciate that this post may not be a SQL Server post, but it does no harm at all to view the technologies on which SQL Server will sit or work with and as an MCSE in Windows 2000 and 2003 I very much like the crammed approached to the new features with the little time I have.

Tjeerd Veninga opened proceedings with an overview of the new features of Windows 7, an OS I which quite frankly rocks! David Elfassy looked at messaging management in the latest installment of Exchange, and Liberty Munson provided an entertaining session of quick fire questions surrounding Microsoft Certification.

James O'Neill presented the key features of Windows Server 2008 with David Oulverton providing the SBS highlights.

Overall a great evening enjoyed by all! The tour continues throughout Europe and more information can be found at http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/thebus/tour-dates

I also managed to get some swag for the Manchester and Leeds SQL Server User group, will keep you posted and update the agenda for the forthcoming December dates!
