Road Trip: Tauranga 05 Feb 2008 19:27



Day 2, and after some quick brekkie we were off early to drive down to Tauranga to visit Rodney and the local user group. We made good time and even managed to stop off along the way for for a quick drink..


For the session itself, we had a great turn out (~100 attendees out of 105 registered) who by all accounts were wrapped with the session and we managed to avoid the venue pain from yesterday which pleased Darryl, Chris and myself :)

So far it seems Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V is creating the buzz. In fairly nice timing for us Windows 2008 RTM'ed today allowing everyone to get straight into evaluation and upgrade mode - you can grab it off TechNet or MSDN immediately. It also means when I get back home I will be upgrading my home servers :)

After a quick drive down to Rotorua we are holed up at Lake Rotoiti over Waitangi day, which promises to be a fun day including rafting down the Kaituna. Looking forward to it!

Next stop is Hamilton - see you all there on Thursday! :)
