Well, it’s been two weeks now since the Metro and the Airlift training and I’ve had a chance to play around with Wave 14 and the developer APIs.   As you may know there are two APIs – UCMA 3.0 and the Communicator API. I’ve been begging for over a year for Microsoft  to give us the hooks we need and they have done a pretty good job ...

2010 MVP Global Summit - Well, it has been about two weeks now since I got back from my Redmond Trip and I’ve had time to recover and regroup. I’m getting too old for 17 hour days in the wrong time zone and redeye flights. On the return trip I went 36 hours without any sleep and it took a few days to recover from that.

As the other pieces of the pie grow we should see new opportunities for us. I’m especially excited about Exchange 2010. Reviews · Microsoft Exchange 2010 Beta Looks ...
