There haven’t been many blog posts on the site this week but it’s been a full-on week in Redmond at at the Windows Server 2008 Worldwide Technical Workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not many people will write about their experience of attending a conference for the IT industry press (I’m not a journalist – just a blogger<\/a>) but it’s been great to be labelled as a member of the “worldwide press” (I kid you not) for a few days and I wanted to write something about the experience.<\/p>\n

\"SignIt was a long trip out here and I was pretty tired but also very exited about the event – my first visit to the Microsoft Campus. As I waited for the coach that took us from the hotel to the Microsoft Conference Center, I got chatting to Paul Hearns, the editor at ComputerScope<\/a> (of one of Ireland’s leading IT trade publications) and realised that I was probably one of only a small number of bloggers at the event – with the distinction being that journalists write objective opinion pieces (at least, that’s the idea – PR is a strong influencing factor) and that IT bloggers are often enthusiastic techies, with less focus (but an increasingly wide audience).<\/p>\n

The calibre of the other attendees was soon apparent as, the first person I saw after registration was Paul Thurrott (best known for his SuperSite for Windows<\/a>, WinInfo Updates<\/a> and the Windows Weekly<\/a> podcast). \"MarkI hold Paul’s work in high regard as he is one of the few tech writers that I know of who manages to write objectively about both Windows and Macintosh topics (provoking criticism from both sides – often unfounded). I introduced myself (not expecting Paul to know my work, even though we have exchanged e-mails on occasion) but I’m afraid it’s difficult not to appear a little geeky when you ask someone if they would mind posing for a photo with you.<\/p>\n

As the day moved on, I met journalists whose work I was familiar with but whom I only knew from their bios – people like Karen Forster<\/a> and David Chernicoff<\/a> – and later I introduced myself to Steven Bink<\/a>, who constantly amazes me for being able to pump out so many Microsoft news stories from his site.<\/p>\n

I also met John Savill<\/a>, who I always thought was a) American and b) a professional technical writer – it turns out that he’s actually English and, just like me, he has a day job working for a large IT company and writes in his spare time. Also, just like this blog, John’s Windows FAQs started out as being for his own benefit and has become a useful resource for other people. And it turns out that John and I are not alone in this world of part-time IT writers as I hooked up with James Bannan (best known for his work at APC Mag<\/a>) and Andrew “Dugie” Dugdell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One thing I was totally unprepared for was the size of the Microsoft Campus. I don’t know the exact size but it must cover at least a square mile, on both sides of I-520. I’m not sure how this compares to the GooglePlex or Apple’s base in Cupertino but certainly puts 5 buildings in Thames Valley Park<\/a> into context.<\/p>\n

Another thing that I found interesting is that there is no building 7… and being sent to a meeting in building 7 is a common prank to play on new employees (thanks to John Howard<\/a> for providing that little piece of trivia – Scott Guthrie has more trivia about the various buildings on the Microsoft campus<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I’m on my way home now, worn out after 24 sessions in 3 days and yes, I drank the Kool-aid<\/a> (actually it was Mountain Dew…), picking up a stack of information about Windows Server 2008, as well as meeting some great people. Expect to see plenty of Windows Server 2008<\/a> information posted here over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
