Ready for TechEd 2007

I’m in the hotel room, ready to get a good night sleep. I’m installing MOSS 2007 so I can play with SharePoint this week. I’m looking for the technology to really improve upon this week at TechEd. I’m going to focus in on System Center, especially around the Dynamic Systems Initiative, SharePoint and who knows what else. I’m a bit disappointed that the Service Desk portion of System Center won’t be out until 2008. I was really looking forward to implementing a Microsoft solution in this space. I may have to settle for some SharePoint Templates around incident, change and problem management. More to come tomorrow. I’ve got a pre-conference on System Center. I hope to do well as a EA in the operations presentation.
