After the Bob Muglia keynote I headed over to listen to Robert Gillies and Andrew Ehrensing talk about Exchange 2007 migration scenarios. There had to have been over 400 people in the room, it was obviously a hot topic for most everyone.
After that I milled around the show floor and then sat in on a session on how to write books for MS Press. That session was sparse but it was good information... I would have loved to have had this information before I started writing books. (That information would have been helpful yesterday! – Robbie)
I then went over to a session on SQL clustering, however the little theater was overflowing with people and it appeared they spent a lot of time talking about the Windows Server quorum models so I left a little early.
The next session was a free-form session on PKI, this session allowed time for the attendees to ask questions, which was great.
Finally, the last session of the day was the Exchange Storage Deep Dive with Ross Smith IV. He covered a ton of material in a very clear manner. He was very well prepared as well.
At the end of the day was the Vendor Welcome Party and the Microsoft Learning Party. All I can say is I walked away with an overflowing bag of goodies…. even for the most part I try to avoid “getting scanned” needlessly. The MSL party was a lot of us geeky-types listening (some did “dance”) to music that was cool when I was in grade school, however the real reason for being there is MSL announced the new Springboard series content available to get people up to speed on new Microsoft technologies.
